Day trip from Heraklion to Agios Nikolaos, Elounda, and Spinalonga Fortress island with hotel pickup, boat ride, and lake views.

“You only have a guide on the bus, although very good and knowledgeable the guide leaves ou at Agious Nikolaos and at Spinalonga, so your left in your own to wonder around both stops. Which i found a bit of a let down!!! You have to pay an additional €20 to get in to Spinalonga and you dont have a guide with you. Very disappointing”

3.Cruise to Spinalonga, Kolokytha Bay & Agios Nikolaos with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 106 reviews · 9 to 10 hours (approx.) · from $60

Cruise to Spinalonga and Kolokytha Bay from Heraklion with lunch, transfers, and a guided look at the island of tears.

“Il prezzo è onesto e le guide esaustive, ma è sovraffollato: tempi di attesa per salire, scendere e mangiare lunghi. E per i posti a sedere, se arrivi dopo, sei costretto a posizioni di fortuna sotto al sole. Anche Spinalonga molto affollata; ok l'alta stagione, ma almeno in barca ci si aspetterebbe un minimo di agevolezza in più senza sovraccaricarla. Se odi code e ressa e lo stai valutando per Agosto beh, trai le tue conclusioni”

Private Crete tour from Elounda with olive oil tastings, Lasithi Plateau villages and windmills, Aposelemis Dam views, and Knossos Palace.

“This excursion turned out to be so much more than we expected! While we did visit the highlighted attractions, our driver, Spyros, also took us into the Lasithi Plateau and showed us many things we did not anticipate! We picked and ate strawberries, visited a very traditional coffee shop, learned about the free roaming goats and the vast vegetation of the plateau area. We also visited a pottery store and family factory.”
