Details
Discover Crete from a new perspective on this unforgettable boat trip to Spinalonga and Kolokytha! Our journey begins at 10:00 AM from the main harbour of Agios Nikolaos. As we cruise across the stunning Mirabello Bay, you’ll enjoy the refreshing sea breeze and spectacular views of the Cretan coastline. Along the way, you’ll hear fascinating insights about nearby landmarks, such as Kri-Kri Island, the sunken city of Olous, and the cave of the pirate Barba-Rossa.
Our first stop is the legendary island of Spinalonga, where we’ll stay for 1.5 hours. Known for its impressive Venetian fortifications and its haunting history as a leper colony in the early 20th century, Spinalonga is a place of deep cultural and historical significance. To enhance your experience, we’ll provide a self-guided tour booklet and map so you can explore the island at your own pace.
Next, we’ll sail to the serene Kolokytha Bay, where the boat anchors at a secluded beach with crystal-clear turquoise waters. You’ll have another 1.5 hours to swim, sunbathe, or simply relax in this hidden paradise. While you enjoy the surroundings, our crew will prepare a traditional Cretan lunch featuring roasted pork, fresh seasonal salad, and bread. Vegetarian and vegan options—such as a grilled vegetable tortilla—are also available. Your meal will be topped off with seasonal fruit and accompanied by a glass of wine or juice. After lunch, we’ll cruise gently back to Agios Nikolaos, taking in panoramic views of the coastline as the perfect end to your day.
