Crete · AGIOS NIKOLAOS TOURS
55 tours
The eastern end of Crete runs quieter, and the boats reflect that. From Agios Nikolaos and Elounda you can be standing inside the Spinalonga fortress within the hour, swimming off Kolokytha on the way back, or driving up to the windmills of Lasithi. Here is what each trip includes, what it costs, and which ones stop long enough to actually swim.
A full-day guided loop of Agios Nikolaos, Elounda, and Spinalonga Island, with boat views and a swim stop off the coast.
“Lovely day trip. The guide was very good and the transportation was spot on. Loved visiting both places and it was well worth the extra 20€ entrance fee into the island of Spinalonga. We would highly recommend this trip.”
Half-day boat trip from Agios Nikolaos to Spinalonga with a 30-minute swim stop in Kolokitha Bay and a guided fortress visit.
“Entry to the island is an additional 20€ so bear in mind. Great facilities on the boat. The port of Agiou Nikolaos is lovely; suggest eating there if you can xx”
Spinalonga leper colony boat cruise from Agios Nikolaos with lunch at Kolokytha Bay, plus swim time in clear turquoise water.
“We really could have used more time to explore the island itself as the center and top were not well maintained trails and required more attention when navigating. We had to really hustle to get down which was not entirely safe to do.”
Semi-submarine cruise in Agios Nikolaos Bay, Crete, with fish feeding, underwater windows, and chances for turtles or dolphins.
“Amazing...... really recommend doing this activity...well worth the money.”
Cruise from Heraklion to Spinalonga, swim at Kolokytha Beach, enjoy lunch by the sea, then explore Agios Nikolaos with lake and port views.
“The tour guide, bus driver and bus were excellent. The tour was well coordinated and travel run to time. I think the lunch was good but portions could have been more generous. Overall a good day and reasonable value for money.”
Crete day trip to Agios Nikolaos, Plaka, and Spinalonga with olive oil tasting, lagoon views, and a guided walk on the island ruins.
“It was very nice trip! Spinalonga is amazing. Our guide Rania was excellent!”
Spinalonga, Elounda, and Agios Nikolaos on Crete’s northeast coast, with Kolokytha Bay swim, guided fortress tours, and BBQ lunch.
“Would have appreciated an easier way to eat our bbq (plastic fork with a big pork steak was difficult) and with trays on laps was difficult. Also, we had 30 mins at the olive farm and was chaotic. We had no idea where to go, or which guide to follow for the talk. We missed the talk and just went to the shop. Despite this, the day was fantastic! Spinalonga was brilliant, swimming in the sea was good and despite the difficulty eating, the food from the bbq was delicious. Would recommend to others!”
