Byen Agios Nikolaos er hovedstaden i Lassithi præfekturet og står på kysten af Mirabello bugten på den østlige del af Kretas ø. Opmærksomheden er Voulismenis sø, der findes i byens centrum, omgivet af caféer og restauranter. Søen forbinder til havet under en lille vej blå bro og har en historisk og geologisk betydning på grund af dens dybde. I byen kan du finde mange butikker og på onsdage selv en udendørs markedsbasar. Tag dig tid til en tur for at nyde udsigten, nyde lidt shopping eller nyde en drink i en af de mange caféer omkring søen.
Elounda er en tidligere fiskerby på den nordlige kyst af øen. I dag er kendt for sine luksuriøse hoteller og villaer. Udsigten over Mirabello-bugten er spektakulær, mens du nyder at svømme i krystalvandet. Elounda er en tidligere fiskerby på den nordlige kyst af øen. Moderne Elounda er meget kendt for de fem og seks stjerner luksushoteller bygget i området. Mange af dem kan ses på vej til havnen, hvor vi går om bord på vores private båd for at sejle langs kysten til Mirabello-bugten.
Spinalonga, dagens hovedattraktion, er en lille ø meget tæt på Elounda og på den østlige del af øen Kreta. Det er et sted med historisk hukommelse, da det i isolation rummede mennesker, der led af lepra indtil 1957. Gennem århundrederne har det været beboet af venetianerne, tyrkerne, før det isolerede de spedalske. Det har altid været en turistattraktion, men efter 2005, da Victoria Hislop en britisk forfatter skrev en historisk roman "Øen" om, hvordan spedalske levede på Spinalonga, kommer hundredvis af mennesker hver dag for at ære et besøg og lære stedets historie først. hånd.

This tour was very well organised and quite laid back! After being picked up, you have some free time in a couple of towns. The first one has a lovely lake to get a drink and food. Also some lovely side streets and shops to explore. Our second location was a small beach town it was quiet when we went and you can spend time here relaxing by the water and going for a swim. After that you jump on a boat to Spinalomga island. Be aware that you have to pay to look around the island. We thought it was worth it and had fun exploring and admiring the views! Last thing was back on the boat and another swimming opportunity. For the price I think this is a good tour and is fairly relaxed. Thanks for a lovely day ^.^
TAKE SWIMWEAR! Great tour, plenty of time at each stop to see everything. There was also a swim stop on the boat which was not detailed in the description so unfortunately we were not able to go swimming as we did not take any swimming items.
Being a cynic - I honestly didn't expect much from this trip, given there was no food included (nor entry to the main attraction, which is 20€ each), and there was a huge group of us packed together (pretty much a full coach!). However, I found myself pleasantly surprised not only by how smoothly everything went on the organiser's part, but how much fun there was to be had at each location we visited! The cheap ticket price didn't reduce the quality of the care we received at all. The tour guides were very informative, giving updates in English, French, and German. The timetable was very clear and there was a decent amount of time in each location - I might have extended it a little bit, but it was already quite a long day even with only 1-1.5 hours in each section. In Agios Nikolaos, there was lots of lovely shops and restaurants to go to, and you could dip your toes in the lake. In Eulonda, there were a few beachside restaurants, and the chance to have a swim in the ocean - but due to time constraints, you really only had time to either get lunch OR have a dip. So, if you really want some time on the beach, I'd recommend packing a grab bag. Plus, the restaurants, while nice, are a bit expensive along the coast. Spinalonga island was a great piece of history to amble around, though it is a lot of walking, so packing comfortable shoes and plenty of sunscreen is a must. And then, if you missed out at Eulonda, the final stop is at Mirabella bay, where you can jump off the boat into the ocean! I would be careful and only recommend strong swimmers do this though, as the current was quite strong, so be wary if the ocean is especially choppy! The ride on the boat, however, was incredibly smooth, albeit very windy! I didn't keep a hold of one of my towels, and it got blasted away - so be more cautious than me with your belongings! 😂 Overall a really good all rounder day, even if you are left pretty tired by the end! Transport included to and from your hotel makes the journey home a lot simpler. Big thanks to Altino Travel and the team for everything!
Very good, but not enough time to see each little spot; the guide explains things well, and the meal was very good. If you don't like fish, you can have chicken. However, you need to budget 20 euros to visit the fortress in addition to the excursion.
Great guide and enjoyed both exploring the town and the island. Really enjoyed the history of the Lepor island
Thanks to the Altino Travel team!! It was an amazing day, Unlike many comments, there were not many looks, the bus transfer was not too long and pleasant, with air conditioning, the guides' explanations were very interesting, and we were given plenty of free time at each location, it was a wonderful day.
My wife and I were very interested in Spinalonga on our Honeymoon trip to Greece, and we were not disappointed. It was her favorite site we’ve visited so far and the stops in this trip otherwise were great additions, along with the quick cruise itself out to the island
Tour guide didn’t appear , first got message running late , then asking where I was . I was at agreed meeting place 15 minutes early . Someone did turn up looking for someone else , I showed my booking , name before he left . When choosing trip I picked tour guide who can speak English . I also attempted messaging , calling , and got no response .
We went to Kiani Beach Resort for our 60th Anniversary and it was so beautiful there. The staff was wonderful, George Mazarakis (Operations Manager) was so nice to us. Muhammad from Indonesia was also very good and was promoted while we were there. Everything was perfect. Also, our Church Blessing by Father Lorenzo at the Catholic Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. Met a nice couple from Krakow, Poland and spent the day at the Old Town in Rethymno. Worth a trip as Chiana is also.
Excellent value for money, driver and guide with you all the way. Well explained and great places to visit
