Description

The tiny island of Spinalonga is just a short hop away from Crete, but a visit is like stepping back in time. Centuries of history are packed within the walls that encircle it. See it through the eyes of a local on this exclusive full day tour, which also takes in two coastal towns on Mirabello Bay. Veta, one of our guides, says, 'You'll visit the pretty fishing village of Elounda and the seaside town of Agios Nikolaos. You'll try some typical Cretan food in a taverna, too.'
Spinalonga has been many things throughout its existence, including a Venetian outpost and an Ottoman town. It was even a leper colony, which led to it being dubbed the âIsle of Tears'. You'll take a walk with our local guide, who'll lead you along narrow lanes of long-abandoned roofless dwellings and show you around the fortress and the colony, which closed in the 1950s. What's more, you'll beat the crowds by arriving early on the first ferry of the day.
Later, you'll sail back via the seaside village of Elounda. You'll have some free time to explore at your own pace. Swim, stretch out in the sunshine or watch the world go by at one of the many family-run bars on the waterfront. Then, it's onto a nearby taverna for a tasty Cretan lunch. Rounding off the day is a visit to Agios Nikolaos, a chic coastal town sheltered by two offshore islets. Many make a beeline for the bars overlooking the boat-fringed inshore lake.

Repetiría sin dudar

Cumplió con todo lo que prometía y un poco más. El precio es honesto para lo que se recibe. La zona de Ilha de Spinalonga de noche es otra cosa.

Excelente experiencia de principio a fin. Tuvimos buen tiempo en Spinalonga para sacar fotos tranquilos. Se puede hacer tranquilo sin estar en estado físico. Se respetó al minuto el horario de regreso. Si volvemos a Buenos Aires, lo repetimos.

So glad we booked this. The room at Gazi Vienna is a gem in itself. The ground staff were friendly from first contact.

Nice outing

Does what it says on the tin. The driver pointed things out all the way to Gazi Teniente Luis Candelaria. After a long flight, this is exactly what you want. Drinks at the venue are wildly overpriced. A good option, especially on a first visit.
