The Best Sight in Vrisses, Crete

Crete's largest freshwater lake is inland from Georgioupoli with a scenic setting among mountains. The water is vodka-clear with turtles and fish, and many visitors hire pedalos and kayaks to get close to the aquatic wildlife. There are a handful of tavernas and cafés on the eastern shores and a paid parking as you enter the village, or, alternatively, it is a 20-minute walk from town. Try to arrive early as it is on the itinerary of many tour buses.
