Lovely Artifacts and amazing history but the attitude of the staff completely spoiled the trip. Only gave the extra star as they let under 25’s in for free when showing ID. Experience would have been better if staff in every room were not rude. Disappointed.

Driving along the North East coast through the gorge of St George we reach the picturesque town of Elounda. Here we board a boat and Spinalonga Cruise starts. We reach the small sandy bay of Kolokitha, where the boat will be anchored. Here you have plenty of time for swimming at the crystal clear water. We proceed to the small island of Spinalonga. Spinalonga has had a very chequered history and today, although uninhabited, still echoes with ghostly reminders of the past. The Venetians constructed a very impressive fortress with 40 cannons which has been guarding the bay since the 15th century. At the beginning of 19th century human pain and sorrow was scattered around this islet. It became a leper colony, the last active leper colony in Europe, and it remained so until 1957. We then return to Agios Nikolaos where you have time to look at the shop windows and visit the bottomless lake, where the “Lotus Eaters” the well-known film was shot.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle

Exclusions: boat round trip and BBQ - 6 euro per adult, child 5-12 - 50% red, Entrance ticket to Spinalonga - 8 euro per adult, child up 18 yrs old -free

This gorge is worth taking ones time walking down rather than a race to the coast as it seems to many and hard not to get caught up in. The sheer depth and fascinating tree growth is truly awe inspiring. It took up 4 hours of moderate walking on an initial narrowness winding path with later widens to the river bottom. Good sold footwear really is a must. The restaurants at the bottom are a welcome celebration before the half hour ferry ride to nearby motor collection harbours.

We booked a Localgrapher for a couples shoot in Arizona. The results were okay at best, and we regretted not seeking out an established local in the area. For the price, we received 60 very average choices and the ability to select 35 shots. We couldn’t even find 35 framed correctly. The localgrapher website is also a joke which requires a youtube video to figure out. The UI is terrible and the photos will disappear rapidly so do not wait to download (set aside a couple hours - that’s how bad it is). But really, just avoid. Hire someone directly.
