Spinalonga And Agios Nikolaos Tour From Rethymno
This tour starts with a drive along the north coast of Crete towards the east of the island. Your first visit will be to the small and lively town Agios Nikolaos where you can spend some free time at the lake, the harbor or the numerous little shops and bars.
