From Heraklion: Spinalonga, Agios Nikolaos, Elounda & Plaka Tour
Experience a journey through history with swimming, a cruise, a guided tour of Spinalonga, olive oil tasting, and free time in Agios Nikolaos.
Step into the past on this unique excursion that begins at the charming harbor of Elounda. Board a boat to the bay and beach of Kolokitha, where you can swim in crystal-clear waters. After about 1.5 hours, continue to the historic island of Spinalonga, where a guided tour reveals its layered past—from an ancient Greek outpost and Saracen pirate hideout to a Venetian fortress and Turkish settlement.
After returning to Elounda, take a bus ride toward Agios Nikolaos, the capital of Lasithi. Along the way, enjoy a brief olive oil tasting before arriving in town. Once there, unwind at a café by the mysterious Lake of Voulismeni or stroll through the local shops at your leisure.
