About This Experience
Explore the history and beauty of Eastern Crete on this comfortable small-group minibus tour to Spinalonga, Elounda and Agios Nikolaos.
Your journey begins in the picturesque village of Plaka, where you will take the boat to Spinalonga Island. Once known as the former leper colony of Crete until 1957, Spinalonga is also home to one of the most impressive Venetian fortresses in the Mediterranean. Built in 1579 on the ruins of an ancient acropolis, the fortress played a key defensive role in protecting Elounda’s harbor.
After visiting Spinalonga, enjoy approximately 45 minutes of free time in Elounda, a coastal resort overlooking Mirabello Bay. The experience continues in Agios Nikolaos, the charming capital of Lasithi, where you can stroll through the town center and admire views of the gulf.
With a small group of 4–8 passengers, this tour offers a relaxed pace and personal atmosphere, combining history, coastal scenery and authentic Cretan towns in just 4–5 hours.
