Activity itinerary

Spinalonga
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Spinalonga, the last leper colony in Europe, is located in Elounda from where we take the boat for Spinalonga island. Originally, Venetians fortified the islet in 1579, by building a fortress with 40 cannons and they are actually the best preserved walls in Europe. It used to be a leper colony from 1903 until 1957, where lepers could have a better life, medical help and economical support. The ruins of the market street with the shops, the hospital and many small houses in which lepers lived isolated, can be explored individually.
Elounda
  • 2h 30m
Leaving Spinalonga Island we have free time to explore the unique Elounda village or go for swimming in the crystal clear waters of Elounda Bay.
Agios Nikolaos
  • 1h
Before we take the road back to Heraklion, we will visit Ag.Nikolaos, a town with 14.000 inhabitants which is built on the side of the Gulf of Mirabello. In the centre of Agios Nikolaos is the lake Voulismeni, probably created by an earthquake. There, we can have a coffee break or a walk around the lake, which gives you a great view from above, over the centre and the harbour of Agios Nikolaos. Next to the lovely harbour are shady tree-lined streets filled with shops gives you the opportunity to do some “serious shopping”.
Malia
  • 40m
Our last stop is at the olive factory in Malia and taste the famous Cretan olive oil.
