Sit back and enjoy a leisurely drive through Heraklion, the island's capital. Pass by the vibrant, historic fishing harbor and the impressive 16th-century Venetian fortress before heading east to Elounda Bay, where you'll make a brief stop to take in the stunning coastal views.

In the picturesque village of Plaka, nestled in Mirabello Bay, you'll have spectacular views of the famous island of Spinalonga. After a stop at a traditional taverna for a local snack and soft drink, continue to the popular resort of Aghios Nikolaos for a quick photo opportunity, before returning.
