The cruise was fantastic! Spinalonga is definitely worth visiting. Swimming and sunbathing in Kolokytha bay was fantastic. The beach is not large but there was no problem with the place. The only weak point of the whole trip was lunch. In fact, it was a piece of meat with salad and 2 slices of bread (not very fresh). So if you are with children, I recommend taking sandwiches for them.

A great day aboard the Kalidon. The boat has a lower deck with inside and outside seating. And an upper deck with covered seating for protection from the sun. Our first stop at Spinalonga was self-guided and an interesting site to visit. We were given ample time to enjoy at our own pace. From there, we went to Kolokytha beach. Since it was overcast and somewhat cool, we elected to stay on the boat. A wonderful lunch of pork chops, cooked on an open pit in front of where we were anchored, cabbage salad, bread, fruit, and wine was served to us on the aft deck. We returned to our mooring point, in Agios Nikolaos, by 3 PM.
