• Explore the former leper colony-turned-fortress on Spinalonga Island. This island is not only unique in Greece but in the whole world and offers visitors many places to explore. Wander through the Venetian fortifications, old chapels and admire the views from the lighthouse.
• Grab a few rays of sunshine on one of the many beaches near Agios Nikolaos. On your boat trip, you will be able to explore some of Greece’s finest sands on beaches like Kitroplatia, Havania, Almiros and the world-renowned Ammoudara. If you have some more time, a trip to Elounda, Drios and Plaka is also worth the detour!
• No charter in Agios Nikolaos would be complete without enjoying some of the water sports activities on offer. We recommend sailing to Voulisma, Karavostasi and Agios Panteleimonas to try snorkelling, kayaking or even paddleboarding!
• As Agios Nikolaos is in Crete, we recommend sailing to some of the other stunning locations on this island, nicknamed the “island of gods”. If you fancy some shopping, nothing beats a day trip to Heraklion, the island’s capital and largest city. For beaches, the heavenly island of Chrissi in the south of Crete has some of the clearest water in the Mediterranean.
