Full description

Discover the charming coastal town of Agios Nikolaos on this day trip from Rethymno. Step back in time as you view the archeological site of Olous from a boat. Go for a dip in Kolokythas bay and take a stroll on the uninhabited island of Spinaloga.

Be picked up from the comfort of your accommodation, then sit back and relax aboard a comfortable and air-conditioned bus. Stop for a coffee break on the way to Agios Nikolaos. 

Spend some free time discovering the beauty of Agios Nikolaos where you can see the picturesque Lake Voulismeni, visit the marina, admire neoclassical buildings, and walk along the pedestrian roads. Have some time to purchase lunch at a local establishment before boarding the boat to Spinaloga.

View the partially submerged archeological site of Olous from the ship. Soak up some sun on board or go for a dip in the crystal waters of Kolokythas bay. Reach the island of Spinaloga where you will have a 1.5-hour visit to the leper colony and the surrounding pebble beaches and shallow waters.

Return to Agios Nikolaos where your bus will be waiting to take you back to your accommodation.

Would have preferred a cooler travel, it was such a long journey, but the time on the island was enough. The boat started to board about an hour early so if we was to turn up at the advised time then less seating was available ( I stood for most of the trip)

Our guide Lazarus was absolutely fantastic. It was extremely hot and spinalonga had to shut early but he went to great lengths to look after us all, checking on us all individually several times and the information he gave us on both journeys not only went way beyond the nature of the trip but was also one of the highlights of our holiday. Many thanks once again to him for such a great day.
