Gournia natural pool 
The area of Gournia is located 17km east of Agios Nikolaos and 2km west of Pachia Ammos and is known for the ancient Minoan town Gournia. There are some nice sea caves and natural ponds in the rocks in the wider area, however the sea streams gather a lot of rubbish.
Just opposite the point where the road to the monastery of Panagia Faneromeni starts to ascend, a short dirt road leads to one of the most impressive natural pools in Crete that is formed on the hard rock. Especially when the surrounding sea is stormy, it is a pleasure to swim in this calm pond, while the large cave that forms next to it also makes a great impression.
