Lake Kournas is a popular destination for locals and visitors of the island. It is an ideal place for relaxation and for a walk. A walk around the lake usually takes less than an hour (during summertime). On one side of the lake there are cafes and taverns, and right next to them there are small sandy beaches where you can swim. There are also pedal boats for rent for a small 'sail' on the lake, preferably in the afternoon where the colors of the landscape and water are wonderful and the lake is calmer. In winter the level of the lake rises and while it is also beautiful, the walk due to the vegetation is slightly more difficult while the beaches disappear and the waters cover part of the constructions in the aforementioned shops.
