Overview

Enjoy a scenic, private day trip from Heraklion in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle with your English-speaking driver. Begin your journey in Heraklion City, then relax with a coffee by the picturesque Lake Voulismeni in Agios Nikolaos, said to be bottomless.

100% Private & Customizable – Choose how long you stay at each stop.

Hotel Pickup & Drop-off – Travel with a local English-speaking driver.

Continue to Elounda, taking in breathtaking coastal views and glimpses of the historic Spinalonga Island, once a fortress, pirate haven, and leper colony. Then head to the quaint fishing village of Plaka, where you can enjoy lunch or a swim. From Plaka, take a short boat ride to Spinalonga to explore the filming sites of a famous Greek TV series and learn about its unique past.

After a day of history, beauty, and relaxation, your driver will return you comfortably to your hotel in Heraklion.
