Experience the magic of Crete’s enchanting eastern coast on this full-day journey through charming towns, serene bays, and one of the island’s most iconic historical landmarks — Spinalonga Island.
Your adventure begins in Agios Nikolaos, a postcard-perfect seaside town with a tranquil lake at its center, bustling cafés along the promenade, and breathtaking views over Mirabello Bay. Stroll through narrow streets, browse boutique shops, and feel the vibrant yet laid-back Cretan atmosphere.

From Plaka, a charming coastal hamlet with an authentic feel, you’ll board a short boat ride across the bay to Spinalonga Island. Here, history comes alive as you step inside the walls of a former Venetian fortress and leper colony. Wander its ancient alleys, explore stone-built houses, and listen to captivating stories from your guide about its fascinating — and at times haunting — past.
Whether you’re drawn to turquoise waters, timeless villages, or rich cultural heritage, this journey through Agios Nikolaos, Elounda, Plaka, and Spinalonga will capture your heart and leave you with unforgettable memories of East Crete.
