What to Know Before Visiting Argyroupolis town
Located in the Rethymno province, Argyroupoli is a quaint town nestled 260 meters above the Mouselas river valley. The town retains much of its heritage architecture, maintaining its traditional charm.
Argyroupoli occupies the ancient city of Lappa’s grounds, hinting at its historical significance with remnants from the Roman, Byzantine, and Venetian periods. A stroll through the town’s narrow lanes will take you past vestiges of mosaic floors, Byzantine churches adorned with frescoes, and grand Venetian mansions. Nearby, you’ll find the necropolis of Lappa, featuring Greco-Roman tombs, a monumental plane tree, and the Temple of Pente Parthenes.
Argyroupoli’s most frequented spot, though, is the renowned Springs of Argyroupoli. These springs originate in a verdant area just below the village, starting from the Agia Dynami cave. The water passes by old grain mills, which now function as taverns serving traditional food, like mouthwatering trout, sturgeons, and the unique “antikristo” lamb, a local speciality.
Close to Argyroupolis, you’ll find Crete’s largest natural freshwater lake, Lake Kournas. It’s an ideal spot for kayaking or pedalo rides, whether you’re with a group of friends or family with kids. The picturesque surroundings offer a great opportunity for bird watching. Swimming in the lake is a delightful experience, especially refreshing on a hot day. Lake Kournas is a perfect alternative for a day of aquatic fun, particularly when strong winds on the north coast make the sea beaches too wavy for enjoyment.

Nestled in this picturesque village, the available lodgings range from quaint, historically rich suites to modern, luxurious villas. Each stay encapsulates the essence of Cretan hospitality, offering guests a unique blend of comfort, elegance, and local culture.
