Informazioni sul tour

Join us on a trip that feels like traveling back in time. Our adventure begins at the beautiful harbor of Elounda, where we board a boat and head towards Kolokytha Bay and Beach, one of the most beautiful swimming spots in the area.

At Kolokytha, you can swim in crystal-clear waters and enjoy a delicious BBQ meal served on board. The meal includes grilled pork chop, Greek salad, feta cheese, bread, wine or Fanta, and seasonal fruit, making this stop both relaxing and enjoyable.

After about 1.5 hours at Kolokytha, the tour continues to Spinalonga Island. This small island has a rich and emotional history. Over the years, it has served as a natural guard for the ancient city of Olous, a pirate hideout for the Saracens, a Venetian fortress and later a Turkish settlement.

The day continues with a short olive oil tasting before the final stop in Agios Nikolaos, where you can relax by Lake Voulismeni, enjoy a coffee or walk through the local shops before returning to Heraklion.
