Operated by Status MLB Travel Agency · Elounda, Crete
Morning light slides across Mirabello Bay as the minivan winds away from Heraklion and the coast opens into Elounda’s string of coves. Salt air and pine follow you to the small port; a short boat ride cuts across turquoise water to Spinalonga, its battered Venetian walls rising like a storybook ruin from the sea. Walk the narrow alleys, hear the layered past — Byzantine chapel stones, Venetian ramparts, and the island’s later role as a leper colony until the mid-20th century.

7–9 hours.
Suitable for most fitness levels; light walking and short stair sections on the island and village lanes.
