A day trip that combines relaxation and history gives you the chance to visit the highlights of the Northeast part of Crete, where the picturesque town of Agios Nikolaos with the magnificent lake can be found. Elounda, a small village on the shore of Mirabello bay with spectacular views, is where the boat begins the cruise heading to Spinalonga island, a small uninhabited island used during the history as a fortress and later on as a leper colony. On the way back to Elounda Port the boat will anchor so you can dive in the refreshing waters.

The point of attention is the lake of Voulismeni, found in the town center, surrounded by cafes and restaurants. The lake connects to the sea under a tiny road blue bridge and has a historical and geological significance due to its high depth.

  • Spinalonga (Kalydon), Elounda, Greece
    Spinalonga, the main attraction of the day, is a small island very close to Elounda and on the east part of the island of Crete. It is a place of historical memory as it accommodated in isolation people suffering from lepra until 1957. Through the centuries it has been inhabited by the Venetians, the Turks before it isolated the lepers. It has always been a tourist attraction, however after 2005 when Victoria Hislop a British writer wrote a historical novel “The Island” about how lepers lived on Spinalonga, hundreds of people come every day to honor a visit and learn the history of the place first hand.

Immediately after booking via Tripadviser App we received very good written communication in English about the times, itinerary & pick up arrangements. A very modern 2-deck air conditioned coach collected us promptly outside our hotel reception (which they arranged specially for us even though our hotel wasn’t listed as a pick up location). On route to our first stop (a very beautiful lake with marina, shops & cafes), we collected other guests which took just a few seconds at each stop (so everyone else had good communication too!) We had 2 guides on our coach who translated into fluent English, French & German. They explained about the history of the different destinations and were very clear about the meeting times. The speakers above our seats were clear and they helpfully drowned out the general noise of the rest of the coach. Although there were a large group of us on the coach, when we arrived everyone dispersed and we could explore ourselves had freedom to spend the 90 minutes at each destination as we wanted. Spinalonga Island was really interesting. Definitely worth visiting. We really enjoyed the trip and highly recommend this tour. We stayed in Crete for 6 days and this was a fantastic way to see the Island from land and sea. I’ve scored 4 stars because there was no safety briefing whatsoever on our boat trip across the sea which I consider really important for the Captain and tour operator and should not be overlooked.

Coach pick up and tour operators were excellent, ideal times in both Elounda and Agios Nicholas for mooching around and having a bite to eat. I think a better explanation of the terrain at Spinalonga, and a better explanation of the costs involved in the tour of Spinalonga would be good. Lovely surprise to be able to swim off the boat on the way back but failed to understand where we could have swam in Spinalonga. Overall very good value for money.

Enjoyable day out. Particularly enjoyed Spinalonga; gorgeous views of the sea from the top. Also Elounda was beautiful.
