Overview
Begin your journey from Agios Nikolaos, driving along the beautiful Mirabello Bay to the picturesque fishing village of Elounda. From there, board a traditional boat (20 minutes) to the historic island of Spinalonga — once a Venetian fortress and later known as Leper Island, where patients from Crete and the rest of Greece were quarantined until 1957.
Explore the island’s ancient walls, stone houses, and panoramic viewpoints with your private guide while learning about its dramatic past.
After the visit, enjoy free time in Elounda to stroll along the waterfront or have lunch at a local taverna before returning to Agios Nikolaos.
