Boat Trip to Spinalonga Island with Lunch"'Twas a delightful sea trip on a good sunny day. Nearly two hours on the historic Isle of Spinalonga (with an EXTRA visiting charge per person of €10 for the Irish / €20 for the English) was well worth it. The meal on the way back at a swimming stop was alright. Overall, a good day out."Howard · October 2026
