Lake Kournas Outflow

Highlight • River

The small turtles are actually "pests" in that they are offspring of a Mexican water turtle (Trachemys scripta) kept as a pet, which pose a serious threat to the local ecosystem (haniotika-nea.gr/apiles-gia-to-ikosistima/).

I go hiking with short pants, then I come across a 500 meter Thistelweg. Ouch 🙂
Otherwise a nice round on Crete's only natural freshwater lake.
