Agios Nikolaos & Spinalonga Tour
Description
On this excursion to Spinalonga and Agios Nikolaos, you will explore two of the most enchanting locations in Crete. Additionally, there's an opportunity to bathe in the stunning turquoise waters of Kolokitha Bay.
Agios Nikolaos & Spinalonga Experience
Our adventure begins at the designated meeting point, where we'll embark on a picturesque drive along the coastline until we arrive at the port of Elounda. Here, we will board a vessel headed for the island of Spinalonga.
At 10:30 am, we will set sail, and upon arrival, you will join a guided exploration of Spinalonga. During this tour, you will hear captivating tales of the island, including the raids by Arab pirates and events from the Venetian period.
Subsequently, we will return to the boat and journey to the pirate cove of Kolokitha, where you'll have the chance to unwind and swim in Crete's crystal-clear waters. Onboard, enjoy a delicious barbecue lunch as you soak in the surroundings.
After our time at Kolokitha, we will resume sailing back to Elounda, continuing our journey towards Agios Nikolaos. Upon arriving in this vibrant town adjacent to the Voulismeni Lake, you will have some free time to explore and enjoy the scenery at your own pace.
Finally, we will return to Elounda by boat, then transfer back to the minibus for your ride to the original meeting point. The anticipated duration of this experience is approximately 11 hours.
