Great ride to and from Spinalonga, Captain was excellant, came back to pick us up right on time.

Alexandre · FamilyFRFrance · July 2026

Unlike all the other tour operators on the island, the staff were unfriendly and clearly gave the impression that tourists were a nuisance. Once dropped off on the island, we only learned at that point that the return trip was scheduled for 1 hour and 10 minutes later, with no option to choose, even though the return trips were listed as lasting up to 2 hours and 30 minutes beyond that. It was a rushed visit, therefore, with absolutely no time to enjoy the island and its breathtaking scenery; even less time to hire a guide for more information about this historically rich place. At €20 per person for access to the island (not including the cost of the boat), it's quite frustrating.
