What you can expect

Experience a full-day guided tour of Spinalonga Island, including visits to the charming towns of Agios Nikolaos and Elounda, as well as a swim in the crystal-clear waters of Kolokytha, where you’ll enjoy a delicious BBQ lunch.

Your day begins with a scenic ride along the coast, passing through the St. George Gorge to the peaceful coastal resort of Elounda. Around 10:00 AM, you’ll board a boat for a short trip to Kolokytha Bay, a perfect spot for a refreshing swim in the clear, inviting waters. While there, you can also enjoy a tasty lunch on board.

At about 12:45 PM, the boat will take you across the stunning Mirabello Bay to Spinalonga. Once on the island, a professional tour guide will lead you through its fascinating history. Learn about Spinalonga’s past as a natural barrier for the ancient Greek city of Olous, a refuge for Saracen pirates, a Venetian fortress, and a Turkish settlement. Spend time exploring the island and soaking in its rich history before departing around 2:45 PM.

After leaving Spinalonga, you’ll head back to Elounda by bus. On the way, stop for a quick and informative olive oil tasting. Then, continue on to Agios Nikolaos, the capital town of Lassithi, arriving around 3:45 PM.

In Agios Nikolaos, relax at a café by the beautiful Lake Voulismeni, also known as the “bottomless lake.” Enjoy a peaceful stroll around the lake and explore the local shops.

After a day of exploration and relaxation, you’ll return to your hotel, carrying with you unforgettable memories of this incredible tour.

This Spinalonga Day Tour offers the perfect combination of history, relaxation, and local culture, making for an unforgettable experience.
