Must-sees in Crete
Elafonisi Express
An excursion that gets better and better as the day goes on. Our first stop is the Voulgaro for coffee or snacks. Next, it's on to the star attraction. Ringed by pink sands and light blue seas, the uninhabited islet of Elafonisi could hardly be more beautiful. Wade over through knee-deep water and relax on the beach or go for a stroll – there's a dinky little chapel on the western tip. You'll have about four hours of free time to do as you wish. On the way back, walk up to Agia Sophia, a colossal cave famous for its stalactites and chapel.

The Island of Spinalonga – from Heraklion
The tiny isle of Spinalonga is just a short hop away from Crete but a visit is like stepping back in time. Spinalonga has been a Venetian outpost, an Ottoman town and a leper colony, which led to it being dubbed the ‘Isle of Tears'. A guided walk will show you around the fortress and the colony – which closed in the 1950s. Spinalonga is one of Crete's best-known features and a location in Victoria Hislop's bestselling novel, The Island. Later, you'll sail back to Elounda for lunch in a local taverna. And rounding off the day is a visit to Agios Nikolaos, a chic seaside town.

Gramvoussa – from Rethymnon
This cruise has everything – great scenery, beach time and a helping of medieval history. You'll sail past steep cliffs and caves before docking at Gramvoussa Island. This massive chunk of rock is crowned by a half-ruined Venetian castle. Here, you can stay sunbathing on deck, take a swim or trek up to the castle to drink in the views. After that, your boat will make its way back to the peninsula and Tigani. Lapped by the shallow Balos Lagoon, it's a beach that looks like something from the Caribbean. Laze on the white sands, snap photos of the views or splash about in the warm knee-deep water.

Mirabello Select
The villages and islets of northwestern Mirabello Bay are the stars of this exclusive full day excursion. The short boat trip from Plaka to Spinalonga is one many took only once. Centuries of history are buried within the walls that encircle this former leper colony, which led to it being dubbed the ‘Isle of Tears'. A guided walk will show you around this old Venetian fortress. You'll then sail back to Plaka. After some free time to explore this pretty port, head inland to the whitewashed village of Fourni to learn about olive oil production. Drop into a taverna here for a traditional Cretan lunch washed down with local wine.
