If you are visiting Crete, do not miss Spinaloga! It holds centuries of history on a small island - from first antic inhabitants, Venetians building fortifications, to Otoman inhabitants and the leper colony, Spinalonga bursts from different and moving stories. It's easy to get there, taking a bus from Agios Nikolaos to Plaka, which both ways is less than 6 eur. Then, at Plaka, you take a boat to the island, which is 10 eur both ways. Entrance thicket to the island is 8 eur. And when you're there - learn, explore, enjoy! We went early, we were at the island before 10 am, so it was peaceful and almost empty. We went alone, without a guide and a group, since we wanted the freedom to wonder around and explore by ourselves, but guides have so many interesting stories that it might worth going with a group. An hour is just enough for a tour around the island, there are some tables with stories and facts about Spinalonga around, and book guides inside the suvenir shop, so that can be helpful if going on your own. Also, tv series The Island, based on the book, can be a good help in understanding how people lived there, in the former leper colony. Experience is absolutely amazing.

Plaka is a small village which is easily accessible by bus and taxi from Elounda or a 45 minute walk. There are several cafe bars and the beachside restaurants all look out towards the island of Spingalonga. Higly recommeneded for a relaxing day soaking up the sun and village life.
