Full description

Spinalonga is a magnificent island with fortresses dating from the Venetian period. It is an island of legends, a triumph to survival in the early 20th century from the scourge of leprosy, now a place of great archaeological and historical significance. On Spinalonga island, enjoy the opportunity to visit the Interpretive Centre there and discover the settlements of the victims and survivors of this former illness. Explore the Venetian fortifications and learn all about the long and fascinating history of the island. Take time to walk around the island and see the views of the bay and the fortifications. Later the cruise continues, passing along other points of interest in the Bay of Mirabello such as the cave of the legendary Pirate Barbarosa, the sunken ancient city of Olous, and the island where the endemic and hardy Cretan Kri Kri goats live.

Have time to relax and swim in the exquisite turquoise waters of Kolokitha Bay. The 40 m boat features two bars, a lounge, and a restaurant serving Greek and international cuisine at reasonable prices with high-quality service from the crew.

It was amazing. The staff and other guests were friendly and helpful. The information we received on the places/islands we passed was insightful and good. I loved the swim stop, jumping from the side of the boat into the crystal clear water was amazing. I can't speak more highly of my English speaking guide Gloria she was phenomenal. She knew the history of Spinalonga and her passion for the history and the people shone through. She made me rethink my perceptions and changed them for the better. I actually did the trip again because of Gloria and got to speak one on one with her about Spinalonga. Again for me Gloria made my trip memorable and one of the most enjoyable.

The boat ride is uneventful but, of course, the views are beautiful. We didn't order anything other than a bag of chips so we can't speak to quality of food on the boat. The boat stops for 30 minutes for a swim in the sea. Life jackets are not provided and the swim is in the deeper waters which may be difficult for some. Our local tour guide on Spinalonga was interesting and had many stories and information about this island. We agree with other reviews in that we could have used more time for self-exploration of the island.
