Region
Crete is the largest and most populous island of Greece and the fifth largest in the Mediterranean. It lies about 100 km south of the Peloponnese, between the Sea of Crete in the north and the Libyan Sea in the south.
Most lakes here are reservoirs, such as Aposelemis, which supplies Heraklion, and Potami, Bramiana and Faneromeni. Lake Kournas is the island's only freshwater lake, and Voulismeni, in the centre of Agios Nikolaos, is a small lake joined to the harbour by a channel.
