Elounda Boat Trip-The Authentic
Overview
Join us on a relaxing boat cruise to the stunning coastal areas of Elounda and the historic island of Spinalonga. Enjoy swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing while sailing around the famous “lepers’ island,” admiring its beauty from a unique perspective.
We also visit the legendary Pirate Barbarossa Cave, where he once sought refuge before conquering the island. Next, we stop at the beautiful Kolokytha Beach, known for its crystal-clear waters and natural scenery. There, our crew prepares a delicious BBQ lunch including two pork souvlaki skewers and grilled bread, served with raki, fresh fruits, a glass of orange juice, or a glass of local wine, accompanied by music and dancing.
Finally, we head to Skistra Beach for more swimming and relaxation in a peaceful spot rarely visited by crowds. Our friendly crew promises an unforgettable mini cruise that will be a highlight of your holiday.
