A Day That Feels Like Time Travel
Picture this - your day starts in Heraklion, cruising along the coastline of Crete to the tranquil town of Elounda. From here, a boat gently sails you across shimmering waters to the island of Spinalonga island, a dramatic fortress steeped in tales from Venetian rule to its poignant past as a leper colony. Walking through its narrow alleys with stone houses and fortified walls, it's a haunting yet beautiful slice of history that sticks with you. Later, the tour takes you up into the hills to Kritsa village, a picture-perfect mountain hideaway where the air is rich with olive groves and tradition. Here, you dive into the timeless craft of olive oil making, a nod to Crete's soul. To wrap it all up, you get a breather in Agios Nikolaos, a harbor town that cradles a sparkling lake and offers plenty of spots to grab a coffee or browse local shops - the perfect blend of leisure and authentic Greek island vibes.
