Overview

Our journey begins with a short cruise to Spinalonga Island from the small port of Elounda or Plaka. Along the way, you'll enjoy stunning views of eastern Crete’s landscapes before reaching this historic island.

After exploring Spinalonga, we can visit Elounda or enjoy a delicious lunch in Plaka, a charming seaside village known for its fresh fish restaurants. Elounda, once a traditional fishing village, is now considered the most prestigious area in Crete, famous for its luxury hotels, boutique shops, and picturesque waterfront restaurants.

To complete our experience, we will visit Agios Nikolaos, the capital of the Lassithi region. This small yet picturesque town is home to Lake Voulismeni, a natural lagoon wrapped in myths and legends. Here, you can enjoy a leisurely walk and take in the charming atmosphere.

Throughout the journey, we can adjust the tour to your preferences, visiting an Olive Farm, Amazonas Park for kids, or any other place we decide together!
