Kolokytha Peninsula & Spinalonga: Luxury Catamaran Cruise with Meal

Glide through the impossibly blue Gulf of Mirabello on a private catamaran, anchoring at the wild Kolokytha Peninsula and the legendary island of Spinalonga — with a fresh Cretan meal and open bar aboard.

What to expect

You board a luxury catamaran directly from Agios Nikolaos harbour and sail north into the Gulf of Mirabello, rounding the dramatic Kolokytha Peninsula with its pine-scented cliffs and hidden sea caves. The boat anchors in a crystalline cove for an open-water swim, then sails on to drift past Spinalonga Island. A generous Cretan mezze lunch — think dakos, grilled octopus, and chilled Assyrtiko wine — is served on deck as the island's Venetian walls glide past. The return sail features golden afternoon light on the bay.
