Kritsa Village
Kritsa is next, one of the oldest and most picturesque villages in Crete, built amphitheatrically on a rock hill, named Kastellos, surrounded by olive groves. You will have time to appreciate the Cretan culture and cuisine.
Voulisma Beach
Next stop is Voulisma Beach. Renowned for the astonishing beauty that makes it one of the top beaches in East Crete and even the whole of Crete, Voulisma has become a favorite for travelers to the splendid island.
Agios Nikolaos
Along the trip comes the famous city of Agios Nikolaos. There you will be able to discover all the small pedestrian streets and small traditional shops where you can find all of Crete's delicacies. Lake Voulismeni stands there, in the center of the city, a small, formerly freshwater lake, later connected to the sea. The lake is surrounded by many legends and myths. One of the legends says that the lake has no bottom, and even its name is translated as “sunken”. According to another legend, the lake is connected to a volcano on Santorini. During the last awakening of this volcano, the lake water bubbled up, boiled, and overflowed the coast. The main myth associated with the lake tells of two beautiful ancient Greek goddesses–Athena and Artemis the Huntress. They bathed and relaxed in the crystal waters of Voulismeni.
Elounda Beach
Elounda and Plaka of Elounda of course could not be missing from the journey. Maybe the most-known place in Crete, Plaka, is a seaside fishing village on Elounda Bay in the east of Crete. This tiny fishing village has come to great fame since a novel was set here. In the novel 'The Island' and the TV series of the same name, the history of Crete is interwoven with drama and romance all around the sad stories of Spinalonga. From there, you can take the boat and visit the famous island of Spinalonga or you can wander around the breathtaking streets filled with uncountable hand-collected seashells.
