Overview
Looking for a relaxing and luxurious way to explore Crete’s hidden beauty? Step on board a premium Lagoon 42 catamaran and embark on a private cruise from Agios Nikolaos to Elounda and the iconic island of Spinalonga. This full-day sailing experience offers the perfect blend of history, nature, and authentic Cretan hospitality — all from the comfort of a modern, spacious catamaran.
Your day begins with a traditional welcome and a homemade Cretan treat to set the tone. As you depart the port of Agios Nikolaos, enjoy the calm, open spaces of the catamaran — ideal for sunbathing, lounging, or simply enjoying the view. The cruise is entirely private and can be customized to suit your pace and preferences.
Along the route, discover the natural charm of the Almyros River wetlands and nearby seal cave, then swim in the crystal-clear waters off Agioi Pantes Island, a quiet spot known for its wildlife and sandy beach. Snorkel over the submerged ruins of ancient Olous, a hidden underwater city near Elounda that echoes Crete’s rich past. Cruise to Kolokytha and Bird Island, where the turquoise waters are perfect for swimming, diving, or simply relaxing in the sun.
Stop at the peaceful Agios Fokas Island to enjoy a homemade traditional Cretan lunch and walk to its restored Byzantine church. Continue your adventure with a visit to the famous cave once used by pirate Barbarossa — a narrow passage into Crete’s maritime history that offers a striking backdrop for unforgettable photos. Swim in the pristine bay of Krios and admire the lighthouse of Agios Ioannis Cap at the northern edge of the island.
As the cruise continues, circle the historic island of Spinalonga. Here you can step ashore to explore its Venetian fortress, Ottoman remains, and well-preserved walking paths, or simply take in the view from the deck. End your experience at the charming fishing village of Plaka, where you can stroll the shore and enjoy fresh seafood and local wine — the perfect way to close a memorable day.
Ideal for couples, families, or small groups, this Lagoon 42 catamaran cruise offers a laid-back, luxurious way to connect with Crete’s soul, sea, and stories.
