Highlights

Book an amazing tour in the East of Crete to visit Agios Nikolaos, a small town with a picturesque harbor, home to one of the two sweetwater lakes of Crete. We will then explore the oldest and most picturesque village in Crete, called 'Kritsa,' built amphitheatrically on a rock hill named Kastellos. Situated at an altitude of 375 m, Kritsa is surrounded by olive groves. Our visit will include 'Panagia Kera' to see the most important wall painting decorations in Greece. Next, we'll explore 'Elounda,' a small fishing town on the northern coast of the island of Crete. Our final destination is the island of 'Spinaloga,' a Venetian fortress built in 1579 and later used as a Leper Colony
