Overview
Step into a journey through the sea, history, and adventure in Eastern Crete. Your private experience begins in the picturesque fishing village of Plaka, from where a short boat ride across the calm waters will take you to the legendary island of Spinalonga. The island of Spinalonga is one of Crete’s most fascinating landmarks thanks to its well-preserved architecture and storied past. Once it was a Venetian fortress, and later became a leper colony for the lepers of Greece.
After a guided exploration of Spinalonga, it’s time to get out on the water. Under the guidance of an experienced local kayak instructor, you’ll learn the basics of paddling before setting off to explore the stunning coastline around Plaka and Elounda. The crystal clear waters and the majestic views of the rugged Cretan cliffs offer a whole new perspective on the beauty of the island.
When you’re back on land, you’ll have time to relax, swim, or take part in optional water activities (available at an extra cost). Whether you’re an experienced kayaker or a novice, this private tour is an invigorating way to explore the natural and cultural treasures of Crete, backed by our team’s local knowledge and commitment to your safety and enjoyment.
