Explore the environs of Crete on a six-hour tour that takes you to the fascinating island of Spinalonga and winds its way through the narrow streets of the town of Elounda. A one-hour scenic motorcoach ride brings you to the seaside resort of Elounda. From here, take a short 20-minute boat ride over the sea to the island of Spinalonga. Occupied by the Venetians for 150 years, the small island gained fame when it was converted into a leper colony in the 1900s. Enter through a tunnel called Dante's Gate and explore the abandoned village, small shops and church. Sail back across Mirabello Bay into the harbor of Elounda and explore this elegant resort town on your own. Wander along pedestrian lanes, relax on the pristine beach or just sit and people watch in a taverna. Return at the designated time and relax on the ride to port.
