Spinalonga & Agios Nikolaos tour starting from Rethymno
DESCRIPTION :
Join us in a tour to the famous Leper island and the picturesque small town of Agios Nikolaos in the eastern side of the island of Crete. We will make a stop for some free time at the lake of Agios Nikolaos with its numerous little shops and bars and after that we drive to the village Elounda. We will set sail to Spinalonga island for a 1,5 hour guided tour. The island has an air of Venetian and Turkish periods while roaming through the old houses and alleys and explore the fortress to arrive at a more recent and moving part of history: The first half of the 20th century when Spinalonga was the last Leper Colony of Europe. After our visit to Spinalonga we will have 2 hours of free time to stroll through the small seaside village Elounda, have a refreshing swim or enjoy the local cuisine.
