Spinalonga & the Town of Agios Nikolaos

Mystery abounds as you go back in time and rediscover a way of life that has long been forgotten.  Step where the Venetians have stepped, feel the energy of its previous guests, and hear of it’s jaded history as both a military stronghold and leper colony. Have the opportunity to stroll at your leisure around this uninhabited island. Take in all the history of this abandoned fortress and imagine what happened inside its once imposing walls that are now ruins.

After Spinalonga, our driver will take you to the picturesque town of Agios Nikolaos, which looks like a typical island in the Aegean. Walk by the natural lake Voulismeni, where according to our mythology, Goddesses Athena and Artemis were swimming every time they wanted their virginity back. Enjoy the feeling of being in the southest region of Europe in a picturesque little Town that has been characterized as a small Saint Tropez on Crete.
