Start your winter day trip in the fishing village of Plaka, one of the most beautiful places in
Eastern Crete. From here, you can admire Spinalonga Island, standing quietly in the calm
waters of Mirabello Bay.
If the weather allows, take a short boat trip to Spinalonga. Walk through the old Venetian
fortress and discover the stories of the people who once lived there. The atmosphere is
peaceful and full of history.
After your visit, continue to Agios Nikolaos, the charming capital of Lassithi. In winter, the
town is calm and welcoming. Walk around Voulismeni Lake, explore local shops, or relax
with a coffee by the sea.
Before returning, stop at a traditional olive oil park. See how locals produce extra virgin
olive oil and taste other Cretan products made from olives. This visit offers a warm and
genuine experience of local life and flavors.
This half-day tour combines history, culture, things to do and see, and authentic Cretan
taste — perfect for travelers who wish to discover the real Crete in a simple, comfortable,
and friendly way.
