Full description

Just off the coast of Crete, within the tranquil waters of Mirabello Bay, lies the island of Spinalonga—a place where history and legend meet. The bay itself, set in the eastern part of Crete and once called “the bay with the beautiful view” by the Venetians, embraces this small island washed by shimmering turquoise waters. Once a Venetian fortress and later a place of exile, Spinalonga now stands as a silent witness to the passage of time — a captivating sight to behold from the sea. We invite you to embark on this journey with us—a luxury catamaran cruise from Agios Nikolaos, a day designed for sun, sea, and joy. This is not just a trip but a complete experience, blending fun, food, and freedom into one unforgettable adventure.
