Full description
Our excursion starts in the small town of Elounda. We will take a traditional boat from the small port and sail across the Mirabello Bay to the island of Spinalonga.
During the tour, our guide will be with you to show you Greek culture, the history of Crete, and famous local landmarks.
When you arrive at the island of Spinalonga, you will first learn about its history from the tour guide before having free time to explore.
The fortress island of Spinalonga has a rich history, from a Venetian fortress that protected the island from pirates to a large leper colony. Today, there is no danger on the island, and visitors can explore the well-preserved fortress, walk along the fortress walls, and take beautiful photos.
After visiting Spinalonga, you’ll return to Elounda. Elounda is a popular tourist area in Crete where there are usually no waves because the mountains protect the bay. You’ll have some free time here to swim and enjoy fresh seafood dishes at local taverns and restaurants.
Next, you will go to Agios Nikolaos, the capital of the Lasithi region. The city has a unique architecture that you won’t see in any other city on Crete. You’ll take a walk through the city center and stop at the freshwater lake Voulismeni, which is very deep (64m) and wide (over 130m). You’ll learn secrets and legends about the lake. Then, you’ll have some free time to buy local souvenirs and products.
At the end of the tour, you will visit an olive oil factory near Agios Nikolaos. You’ll learn about how olive oil is made, the different types of olives, the acidity of the oil, and other interesting information. You can also try various types of oil and olive products and purchase them at affordable prices.
Join our tour for an amazing experience and unforgettable emotions!

Puiki kelionė, nuostabi gidė su dideliu bagažu žinių, gerais patarimais ir nuotaika. Išgirdome apie salos istoriją, legendas, vietinius papročius. Kelionė neprailgo, lauksime kitų susitikimų.

Buvome su gide Kamile. Viskas labai patiko – nuo istorijų po paėmimo iš viešbučio iki pat išlipimo. Kelionė neprailgo, sužinojome daug naudingos informacijos. Rekomenduojam! Ačiū, Kamile!
Nuostabi ekskursija su gide Kamile. Daug sužinojome ir pamatėme, gidė davė naudingų rekomendacijų, laikas praėjo nepastebimai.
Buvome Spinalongos saloje su gide Kamile, rekomenduojame, labai patiko, tiek ekskursija, tiek pati gidė ❤️
Am fost în această excursie și în cea de la Platoul Lasithi, două zile consecutive. Ambele au fost experiențe de neuitat și ne bucurăm foarte mult ca le am ales. Am avut ca și ghid pe Dna Carmen, un om de excepție, am învățat de la dansa enorm de multe, de la istoria locurilor vizitate, la felul cum Cretanii își construiesc și își transmit afacerile de familie, în demnitate și iubire fata de locul în care s au născut, la atenție și respect față de meserii mai puțin evidențiate, la detalii despre produsele naturale ale locului, multe dintre ele unice, folosite ca și ingrediente de la cosmetica până la mâncare și multe, multe altele. Rămânem cu o iubire deosebită și un respect aparte față de oamenii și acest loc minunat, Creta. Vă mulțumesc, Doamna Carmen, pentru profesionalismul dvs, pentru tot ce ne ați transmis, pentru lecțiile de spiritualitate, pentru OM ul minunat care sunteți!
Noriu padėkoti GIDEI (iš didžiosios raidės) KAMILEI už nuoširdumą, už tikrą atsidavimą atliekamam darbui. Ekskursija buvo TIESIOG PUIKI👌
Būtų puiku, kad ir kitose šalyse besidarbuojantys gidai taptų tikrais meistrais🌸🌸
