Agios Nikolaos, Plaka, Spinalonga, Elounda! From Heraklion

Our trip begins with a visit to an olive oil park. Here, you will see how people produce extra virgin olive oil, table olives, and olive paste. You will also have the chance to taste real Greek olive oil, famous for its rich flavor and health benefits. In addition, you can try other Cretan products like “raki” and honey.

Next, we visit Agios Nikolaos, the capital of Lasithi. You can explore this charming town, walk through the small shops, or relax in one of the many cafes by the beautiful Voulismeni Lake, known as the “bottomless lake.”

We then continue to the small fishing village of Plaka, located across from the island of Spinalonga. Here, you can enjoy a delicious lunch or swim in the clear waters. You also have the option to take a 15-minute boat ride to the famous island of Spinalonga.

Spinalonga has a rich and emotional history. In ancient times, it protected the city of Olous. Later, Saracen pirates used it as a hideout. The Venetians built a fortress here, and the Turks made it their home. For many years, it also served as a leper colony.

Our last stop is Elounda, a former fishing village that is now one of the most popular holiday destinations in Greece, with the most 5-star hotels in the country. Take your time to walk around the charming harbor and enjoy a coffee before we head back.

This trip is full of amazing experiences that you should not miss!
