ELOUNDA & SPINALONGA

Spinalonga is one of Crete's most famous spots and is often referred to locally as 'the island of tears'. After a scenic cruise over from the port of Elounda your guide will take you on a walk through this old Venetian fortress that was used as a leper colony until 1957. Many books have been written about this famous little island, and you'll learn all about its sad but hopeful history as you explore this infamous isle. After your return cruise to pretty Elounda you can enjoy a little free time to explore the shops and there's a blue flag beach nearby so if you wish take your swimwear and beach towel with you. You'll also be treated to a traditional buffet of snacks from Crete, including mini pies meatballs and different salads. The perfect way to round off your day!
