Crete: Boat Trip to Spinalonga Island from Elounda with BBQ｜Greece

Take a leisurely boat ride from Elounda's harbor. This experience includes swimming, sunlight, and local gastronomy in one pleasant day.

We get on the boat first and head for Kolokytha Bay. This serene beach is well-known for its natural beauty and crystal-clear blue water. We start swimming as soon as we get there. You can go ashore and unwind on the beach, or you can dive straight from the boat.

While you swim and sunbathe, the team cooks a fresh BBQ lunch on board. Grilled pork chop, Greek salad, feta cheese, fresh bread, seasonal fruit, and a glass of wine or soft drink are among the menu items. On request, a vegetarian alternative is also offered.

We pass by the well-known island of Spinalonga after lunch. You can capture stunning pictures and appreciate the magnificent fortification from the water. You may take in the serene ambiance and views of the seaside at the same time.

We then pause between Spinalonga and the village of Plaka for a second swim in the open ocean. You will be able to swim in the deep blue water for approximately forty minutes. Meanwhile, the experience is made even more memorable by the serene surroundings.

We eventually make our way back to the port of Elounda in the early afternoon. You depart with amazing recollections of the Cretan Sea as the journey draws to a close.
