Elounda to Spinalonga Tour Combines Venetian Fortresses and Coastal Charm
A guided excursion from Elounda is offering visitors a powerful blend of history and coastal scenery, centered around a boat journey to the historic island of Spinalonga. The experience combines archaeological exploration with the tranquil atmosphere of eastern Crete’s seaside landscapes.
Spinalonga, widely recognized for its complex and emotional history, served as one of Europe’s last leper colonies and carries layers of significance stretching back to Venetian rule. Fortified in 1579, the island features imposing defensive walls and cannons that reflect its strategic importance in protecting the region during the Venetian era.
Visitors can walk through the preserved pathways and stone structures, gaining insight into both its military past and its later human history. The island’s atmospheric ruins provide a striking contrast between architectural strength and the deeply personal stories associated with its more recent use.
The tour concludes in Agios Nikolaos, a vibrant coastal town known for its relaxed charm and the scenic Lake Voulismeni. Here, visitors can enjoy waterfront cafés, stroll along the promenade, and experience everyday Cretan life, creating a balanced journey that blends historical depth with natural beauty and local culture.

Customer Reviews
Amazing experience! We did the e-tour for €7 each which was well worth the money - able to tour the farm at your own pace and learn lots of interesting information about olives, cheese and wine! Staff are very friendly and helpful, and the shop has lots of great organic produce from the farm to taste and buy! Would highly recommend visiting!
We had booked the olive oil production workshop and had a very insightful and lovely time! We learned about olive trees, the history of the trade and the harvest until we got our hands dirty to actually grind some olives and press them in their press! Feel very honoured they let us touch this piece of history - was certainly an experience! We also got to take a look at some local plants like dittany, carub and aloe, we tasted some olives and raki, all while learning about the meaningful role of olive oil on the island. After the official part of our workshop we got to taste all kinds olive oil, olives, vinegards, carub products, etc in their shop and could even get more info. They are a family farm and offer all kinds of other experiences as well, like cooking or pottery and honestly I love how they made such a business out of the place about their familiy's culture and heritage. Everyone was very friendly and caring to share their knowledge. You could also wander the grounds after and it's a really lovely place. Of course the workshop wasn't super cheap but totally worth the experience and I would also recommend just to visit and take the little tour.
amazing place we booked our tickets for three hour session to milk a goat and make a cheese learn about olives and do a cooking session. It seemed quite expensive when you look at it on the face of the ticket €65 however it was worth every penny we got to eat the food. It was amazing what we learn about the goats and the cheese and all about olives. Highly highly recommend it worth a lot more than €65 people unbelievably friendly lots of other things to see and to do. there’s a shop there with products in it lots of them made by them there and there’s free tasting is of honey and olive oil and other products.
