Join a shared Sailing Trip from Agios Nikolaos and spend six hours exploring the Mirabello Gulf, combining the history of Spinalonga with swimming and snorkeling at Kolokitha Bay. You’ll travel aboard a spacious catamaran with other guests, making this a relaxed and sociable way to discover eastern Crete from the sea.
Sail towards Spinalonga, the small fortified island opposite Elounda and Plaka. You’ll have time to step ashore and explore its Venetian walls, former houses, churches and streets connected with the island’s years as a leper colony. Around 60 to 90 minutes are usually allowed for the visit before you return to the catamaran.
The Sailing Trip then continues to Kolokitha Bay, where you can swim, snorkel or simply relax on deck. Masks, snorkels and fins are provided. Once anchored, enjoy a full Cretan meal prepared with local ingredients, accompanied by water, soft drinks, juices, coffee, tea, local wine, beer and raki.
This shared cruise is ideal for couples, families and groups of friends staying around Agios Nikolaos, Elounda or Plaka who want to combine sailing, local history and time in the sea without booking an entire boat. With a stable catamaran, shaded areas and a local crew looking after the experience, it offers an easy full day on the water in eastern Crete.
