I’ve rounded up the trips that pair Spinalonga’s fortress island with Agios Nikolaos and the blue sweep of Mirabello Bay. Spinalonga housed one of Europe’s last leper colonies until 1957, and a good guide turns the ruins into a story that stays with you. Boats leave from Elounda, Plaka and Agios Nikolaos itself.
Peek into the past on a day trip to Agios Nikolaos and Spinalonga Island, where history unfolds in unexpected ways - are you ready to uncover the mysteries?
