Why take this tour?

Embark on a scenic journey along Crete’s northeast coast and through St. George’s Gorge to Agios Nikolaos, a vibrant city on the Gulf of Mirabello. Known for its mythical lake, the town invites you to explore at your own pace—stroll through charming shops or relax in a café. Continue to Elounda, where breathtaking views of the Elounda Lagoon and the islands of Spinalonga and Kolokitha await. Spinalonga, a historic site, once protected ancient Olous, served as a Venetian fortress, and later a leper colony. Discover its past as you drive to Plaka, a quaint fishing village. A short boat ride takes you to Spinalonga, where you can explore its history, visit filming sites, or enjoy a swim.
End your day in Elounda. Stroll the picturesque harbor, savor coffee, and optionally enjoy a traditional Cretan lunch in Agios Nikolaos before returning to your accommodation. This journey combines Crete’s natural beauty, rich history, and culinary delights into an unforgettable experience.
