A day trip that combines relaxation and history gives you the chance to visit the highlights of the Northeast part of Crete, where the picturesque town of Agios Nikolaos with the magnificent lake can be found. Elounda, a small village on the shore of Mirabello bay with spectacular views, is where the boat begins the cruise heading to Spinalonga island, a small uninhabited island used during the history as a fortress and later on as a leper colony. On the way back to Elounda Port the boat will anchor so you can dive in the refreshing waters.

The stop at Agios Nikolaos was enough to explore the town and an enjoyable breakfast even though most shops were not open yet on Sunday. The beach at Elounda was not very big and most people in the group did not swim there. A comprehensive tour to explore the Eastern Crete nonetheless.
