Trip to Spinalonga – A Day Full of History and Relaxation

The highlight of this excursion is a visit to the historic island of Spinalonga. The day begins with a stop in the charming town of Agios Nikolaos, where you’ll have some time to enjoy the beautiful lake, local shops, and cafes.

Next, we head to the coastal village of Elounda, from where we board a boat to Spinalonga. On the island, a guided tour will take you through the fascinating history of this former leper colony and Venetian fortress.

After exploring Spinalonga, we sail to the nearby Kolokytha Island, where you’ll have time to relax on the beach, swim in the crystal-clear waters, and enjoy a barbecue on the boat.

In the afternoon, we return to Elounda by boat and then drive back to the hotel, ending a day full of unforgettable experiences.
