Discover Crete during a day trip in an air-conditioned coach.
Embark on a memorable day trip through the stunning landscapes of Crete, traveling in comfort on an air-conditioned coach. Discover the charm of Agios Nikolaos, the beauty of the Elounda Lagoon, and the historical significance of the island of Spinalonga, once home to a leper colony.
Your journey begins with hotel pickup, followed by a scenic drive along Crete’s northeast coast, passing the picturesque St. George’s Gorge. The first stop is an authentic olive oil farm, where you’ll witness the process of producing extra virgin olive oil, table olives, and olive paste. Enjoy a tasting session of world-renowned Greek olive oil, as well as local delicacies like raki and honey.
Next, head to the vibrant city of Agios Nikolaos, nestled on the Gulf of Mirabello. Known for its legendary bottomless lake, explored by Jacques Cousteau, Agios Nikolaos offers a mix of myth, beauty, and culture. Take time to explore the town at your own pace—stroll through the shops or relax at a café overlooking the lake.
Continue to Elounda, where you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the coastline and the islands of Spinalonga and Kolokitha across the Elounda Lagoon.
Spinalonga, rich in history, invites you to explore its fascinating past. Afterward, head to Plaka, a quaint fishing village just opposite the island. From here, take a short 10-minute boat ride to Spinalonga, where you can explore the island’s history, visit filming locations from the popular Greek TV series, or simply relax with lunch and a refreshing swim.
The day ends with a visit to Elounda, once a fishing village and now a renowned resort town with some of the best 5-star hotels in Greece. Spend some time wandering the picturesque harbor and enjoying a coffee before your return journey to your hotel.
