Our adventure begins at the beautiful harbor of Elounda, where we board a boat to visit Kolokitha Bay and Beach. Here, you can swim in the crystal-clear waters and enjoy a delicious BBQ meal served on board.

Menu 1: Pork chop BBQ, Greek salad, feta cheese, bread, seasonal fruit, wine or soft drink

Menu 2: Chicken burger, Greek salad, feta cheese, seasonal fruit, wine or soft drink

Menu 3: Vegetable burger and traditional stuffed vine leaves (dolmadakia), Greek salad, feta cheese, seasonal fruit, wine or soft drink

After about 1.5 hours at Kolokitha, we continue to Spinalonga Island. This small island has a rich and emotional history. It was once a natural guard for the ancient city of Olous, a pirate hideout for the Saracens, a Venetian fortress, and later a Turkish settlement. A guided tour will help you explore its fascinating past.

Next, we take a bus from Elounda to our last stop. On the way, we will have a short olive oil tasting before reaching Agios Nikolaos, the capital of Lasithi. There, you can relax at a café by the famous Lake Voulismeni or stroll through the local shops.

Join us for an unforgettable day filled with history, nature, and local flavors!
