Discover the seaside village of Elounda and walk amongst history on the island of Spinalonga.
Finishing our touring on this much afflicted place, we head for the small bay of Kolokitha. It’s one of the most beautiful beaches on Crete. It is a remote beach with white sand and deep blue serene water, side by side with old olive groves. There we can swim from the boat.
Here you have plenty of time for swimming at the crystal clear waters, tasting the BBQ served on board. The menu includes pork* chop BBQ, greek salad, feta cheese, bread, wine or Fanta and seasonal fruit.(EVERY SUNDAY the dinner is in a tavern we DONT have BBQ on board)
After our short respite, we go back to Elounda.
Then we move to the picturesque town of Agios Nikolaos, where we have our last stop. We have the chance to enjoy our coffee getting a perfect view of the magnificent lake, do our shopping in the traditional local shops and relax for a while before we hit the road for our going back.

I've wanted to go to Spinalonga for 25 years so was so looking forward to this trip. The guide on the bus was clearly in a bad mood, she kept standing up and telling people off if they were talking when she was and asking if they wanted the microphone instead of her. The person talking was Autistic and couldnt help talking! I told her when we got to Elounda that he was Autistic so she didnt shout at people again. We got to Spinalonga and had one hour there. The guide was with us for 45minutes, she was fantastic and held a black umbrella. We didn't have enough time to go to the Castle as we had to get back to the boat. VERY disappointed as I said above I've waited to go there since I was young!! There were too many people on the boat, when it came to being fed the food was thrown onto a plate. Very badly organised. I've given this three stars as I fulfilled my dream of going to Spinalonga. Otherwise it would of been one star.

It was a lovely excursion!
The tour guides were extremely friendly and helpful! The coach was a nice size and had much needed air-con on it! Everything ran smoothly from pickup time to drop off!
Thank you for a lovely experience!
Also, the BBQ was AMAZING!! Absolutely delicious!!! ☺️

Was a great experience and Spinalonga Island was very interesting. The boat trip was ok and bbq awful but seeing fantastic scenery made up for this

A fantastic day in Crete! visited the beautiful villages of Agios Nikolaos and the spectacular Elounda Bay are we had a swim on one of the islands. Then took a boat to the fascinating Island of Spinalonga to see and learn about many centuries of Byzantine, Venetian and Ottoman history on the island as a leper colony. Felt the trip could have been shorter if there weren't so many pick-ups on the way, but I suppose they can't do it any other way. Also we didn't have a guide for the first hour or so, just picking people up but it turned out well. Overall a 4.5* rating.

Excellent experience! The guide was fantastic. He even did the trekking with us.. .. which I know is not common. Samaria is absolutely fantastic... but you need to be ready for a long 4 to 6 hours effort that is not not for everyone... the following day your caves will feel it... There's no easy part the first and the last (the canyon itself) are quite hard whilst the middle, though a bit easier still not super super easy... come prepared ... stretch before and after and at the end enjoy the Amazing Agia Roumeli beach and it's warm waters and beautiful (rocky) black beach. Will do it again and with the same tour operator

Don't waste your time and money, it's nothing as advertised!
You get 15-20 minutes by boat the rest is by bus, nothing is included apart from the bus drive and the guide who will quickly tell you on the bus what's next and that's it!

Don't waste your time and money,it's not worth it.
It's nothing as advertised,15 minutes boat trip for an extra charge,no BBQ lunch available on boat, no guide on site only on the bus,no time for swimming.
I feel se sorry for wasting a full day on this!!!

Although in the whole a good day there was a lot of travelling. The hotelpickups were very slow. Tickets on spinalonga should have been purchased along with your as we spent over 1/2 hr queuing to get on the island. Would have preferred more time on spinalonga. Also the olive oil factory visit was very rushed. Again more time would have been good. Went on to st Nicholas stayed for an hour which would have been better spent at the olive oil factory.

I waited 40 minutes for the bus which arrived late I had contacted the tour operator without an answer, the driver did not speak English and did not know if I should take this bus, then I did not guide me and asked me if my name was Alfredo I told him that no she answers me that I am not on the list, a real anguish for me I did not know where I should go the boat was too crowded and not enough room to eat the organization is to be reviewed
