Elounda Spinalonga Agios Nikolaos
Elouna-Spinalonga-Agios Nikolaos
Brief Description
From Agios Nikolaos we drive to Elounda, a quiet resort on the beautiful Bay of Elounda: its hotels have been designed to complement the area’s rocky geography and turquoise waters. Elounda area is an unforgettable beauty, famed throughout the Aegean for
her gorgeous green hills, her sugar-sand beaches and her pristine, inviting sea. Board the boat for the trip in the Elounda Bay with its calm, crystal clear waters. Visit the historical island of Spinalonga, the leper colony of a bygone era.
The boat trip continues to a small bay for swim and BBQ. Next to Agios Nikolaos with its elegant inner harbor and bottom-‐less lake so called the Saint Tropez of Crete and home to many charming cafes and restaurants. The city’s most famous landmark is a small lake in the center of the city at the foot of a cliff – the lake, known as “Voulismeni,” is where the goddess, Athena, used to bathe. Also noteworthy here, in the capital of Eastern Crete, are the Archeological Museum and the cathedral, just southwest of the lake on Platia Venizelou
