Welcome to Esotico Escape Villa, located in Kournas village, close to the homonym lake. Although the lake area is popular with tourists, Kournas village remains largely untouched by tourism, offering visitors a glimpse into the past, similar to many other villages in Crete's interior. The first things you'll notice in Kournas are the old houses, the village square, and the "Kali Kardia" taverna with its delicious dishes. The nearest beach to the villa is 4.5 km away and is well-equipped with sunbeds, umbrellas, and cafes. The island boasts numerous beach options, with some of the finest located on the south coast of Rethymno, including Triopetra, Agios Pavlos, Preveli, Plakias, Schinaria, Ammoudi, and Damnoni. Lake Kournas, situated 4 km away, is the largest natural lake in Crete and is nestled in a captivating landscape between the western slopes of the White Mountains and the fertile plains of Georgioupolis. This lake and its surrounding area form a significant ecosystem for Greece, hosting numerous species of plants and animals. Along the lake's shore, visitors can find several tavernas and souvenir shops, and pedal boats are available for those who want to get a closer look at the lake. Additionally, the nearest living area is Kavros village, just 4.5 km away. Kavros is well-organized and offers all essential amenities, including shops, mini markets, pharmacies, tavernas, restaurants, and bars. Its central location in Crete makes it an ideal place to stay, as it provides easy access to most of the island's attractions. Moreover, the waterfront village of Georgioupoli is just 8 km from the villa and offers various shops, sandy beaches, and a charming small church. Another nearby attraction is Argiroupoli village, only 10 km away, famous for its small spring waterfalls and numerous excellent traditional tavernas nestled under large trees.
