Mobile ticket
With a minibus your Eye Travel guide shows you the Spinalonga island and other interesting places. Our first stop is in Agios Nikolaos where we have a fantastic view over the "Bottomless lake". You have some free time for a coffee, shopping and a stroll along the most eastern main city of Crete.
After passing Elounda it is time for SPINALONGA, the last leper colony of Europe. A typical Cretan fishing boat brings you to the island, this takes no more than 10 minutes. On the island you make a tour.
After finishing the trip on Spinalonga, a fishing boat brings you back to the small village of Plaka. Plaka is a tiny harbor, so the unique opportunity to eat fresh fish.
After our lunch we are heading to an olive oil factory. You get a guided tour through the factory. All facts about olive oil, the pressing methods and grades of olive oil are explained. At the end of the tour you can taste different olive oils and other local products.

Great day with Louise

5.00We had a wonderful day with Louise! She picked us up near our hotel in Heraklion She is a wealth of information and communicates well. We had a wonderful stop in Agios Nikolaos, then along the coast and then again to Spinalonga. She knew so much about the history and the local culture. Louise recommended a wonderful spot for lunch along the coast overlooking the water and Spinalonga. This was a great way to see the area without having to drive ourselves and also learn the history of the area. She showed us local places and gave us recommendations for dinner in Heraklion.
Beautiful Tour of Crete !

5.00Such a great experience. The scenery was stunning. My guide was very knowledgable and really took time to make it my trip. Private was the way to go for me. The olive oil factory was super fun too. And getting to taste all the various oils. So much better than store bought. Spinalonga was an incredible place too. So much history. Do this trip. You won’t regret it.
The best day has by all

5.00Wow what a fantastic day we had! First of all Tania is simply one of the loveliest people you can ever meet, and is friendly, attentive and it very much felt like we were being shown around by a family member (in the best way). Super knowledgeable and seeing as I love history and the Greek myths, Tania took the time to explain a lot of things and places to us which was so interesting. The island is beautiful and Tania showed us some great landmarks. We also went to Spinalonga Island which was very cool and has an interesting backstory albeit a little sad. We also visited the olive oil factory which we loved as we had one of the members of staff privately taking us around and showing us the process from 2000yrs back to present day, and partial to a bit of shopping i of course purchased a few things :) We also managed to find a little time to visit a lovely little beach so my little one could enjoy the waves and really had a great time. I would highly recommend this tour with Tania, she goes above and beyond to ensure that you are comfortable and enjoying your day and she will tailor make some of the day for you if there’s a special or specific place you’d like to see. A very well deserved 5 stars! Kalispera
