Our sailing cruise to Spinalonga from Agios Nikolaos was an absolute highlight of our trip to Crete, exceeding all expectations. From the moment we stepped aboard, we knew we were in for a special experience, and we were not disappointed.
The true stars of this voyage were undoubtedly our captains and guides, Christos and Manos. Their professionalism, warmth, and extensive knowledge truly made the journey exceptional.

They shared fascinating anecdotes and detailed information, bringing the ancient fortress and its poignant past to life in a way that truly resonated with us. Their guidance was invaluable, adding a rich layer of understanding to the breathtaking scenery.
And what scenery it was! The sea was a mesmerizing tapestry of deep blues, transitioning to the most crystalline waters imaginable as we approached hidden coves and the shores of Spinalonga. The clarity of the water was simply astonishing, inviting us to jump in and cool off, which we happily did. The beauty of the Cretan coastline from the perspective of the sea is unparalleled, and every moment was a feast for the eyes.
As the day progressed, leading into the golden hour, we were treated to a truly magical experience. A lovely dinner, freshly prepared and delicious, was served on board as the sun began its descent. Watching the vibrant hues of the sunset paint the sky and reflect on the tranquil waters was a truly unforgettable moment. It was a perfect ending to a perfect day, creating a memory that we will cherish for years to come.
