RJHNorthyorks Posted March 31, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hi. We've visited Spinalonga whilst holidaying in Elounda which is the village opposite Spinalonga and the place where boat trips leave from. We've also visited Heraklion on a cruise and whilst holidaying on Crete. Elounda is over an hour from Heraklion by car. Can't remember how long the boat trip took but according to http://www.eloundaboat.gr they go every 30 minutes. Hiring a car or taxi may be your best option depending on how much time you have. We really enjoyed our visit to the Island and this is a beautiful part of Crete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayneykul Posted April 1, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Thank you for your reply. I will have a look at some websites for specific information on Crete to see how much a driver would cost. Ws the visit good for you? Im hooked after reading the Victoria Hislop book The Island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJHNorthyorks Posted April 1, 2014 #4 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Yes we really enjoyed it. I'd also read the Island which probably influenced us choosing to stay in Elonda. I hope you manage to get there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
