Just across the water, the island of Spinalonga rises—once a Venetian fortress and later a leper colony, it’s a powerful monument to Crete’s layered past.

Start your day cruising along Crete’s northeast coast, enjoying the ride as the scenery unfolds. Dock near Spinalonga to explore its preserved stone alleys and ancient fortifications. Afterwards, relax in Elounda—perhaps with a swim in a quiet bay or a traditional lunch by the sea. This destination balances culture and leisure, history and beauty, offering something unforgettable for every traveler.
