Spinalonga Island

With the tour to Spinalonga Island and the town of Agios Nikolaos, you will visit a small island located at the entrance of the Elounda lagoon and a small beautiful town, a former fishing village that transformed into one of the most scenic holiday destinations of Crete. 

The island’s rich history will surlily leave a lasting impression. Once a stronghold of the Minoans followed by a Venetian fortress became a castle colony, rebel refuge and later famous as the place of exile for lepers. It was also playing a significant role during the Second World War as a communication link with Cairo. The fortifications built by the Venetians during their rule, make the beauty of the island beyond comparison and a short boat ride will be a wonderful addition to our journey. 

The little town of Agios Nikolaos is located not far from the island of Spinalonga and has 20000 residents. It is easily recognizable by Lake Voulismeni right at the centre of the town. Many legends are associated with the lake such as that it's bottomless. The lake in fact is a karstic doline with a maximum depth of 48 meters which is impressively deep. During your stay in Agios Nikolaos, you will have a chance to walk the small beautiful streets of the town and have your lunch in traditional tavernas.
