Crete · AGIOS NIKOLAOS TOURS
The east is quieter and the water is better. These 13 cover the Spinalonga crossings from Elounda and Plaka, the Chrissi day boat out of Ierapetra and the Lasithi road, priced and clear on how long you actually get ashore.
Cruise from Ierapetra to Chrissi Island for clear-water swimming, snorkeling, beach time, and Libyan Sea views aboard Aristovoulos.
“Fantastic,except the food,that was horrible…we were hungry in the whole trip because that menu wasn’t eatable.”
Cruise from Heraklion to Spinalonga, swim at Kolokytha Bay, enjoy lunch, and explore Agios Nikolaos on a full Cretan day trip.
“Being on Spinalonga after reading the book 'The Island' was fulfilling a dream for me. It was what I expected and more. The Island stop on the way back to Agios Nikolaos for me was pointless. I went for a brief walk but there was nothing to see or do there. I would have preferred an extra half an hour or an hour on Spinalonga. Overall a very enjoyable day.”

“We had an amazing day exploring the Cretan landscape and Petra, our guide was super fun and so full of life. She made the excursion even more interesting with her wit and interesting facts. The lunch was super delicious. A must do excursion. The hike upto the cave os Zeus though is a bit intense as is coming up the cave stairs on your way out.. Just a friendly warning”

Our driver was also fantastic navigating each road safely and making good time.”
