Full Day Tour to Spinalonga Island with BBQ Lunch
From the pretty village of Elounda, reached by traveling the northern coastal route, take a boat to the island of Spinalonga. This former leper colony includes preserved houses and churches, and a strong Venetian influence in the form of a fortress surrounding the village. Swim in the crystal blue water before enjoying a BBQ lunch.
Take the north coastal road until you arrive at the pretty village of Elounda from where you will take a boat to the island of Spinalonga - a former leper colony.
With houses and churches that are more of less well preserved, see the proof of the Venetian occupation in the form of the fortress surrounding the abandoned village.
After a walking tour of the village, visitors have the opportunity to swim in the crystal blue water of the Gulf of Mirabello, followed by a BBQ lunch.
On the way back, stop at the small, charming and touristic town of Aghios Nicolaos, with its quaint Harbour and supposedly "bottomless lake", for a delightful coffee break!
