## Getting ashore

Ships call at Agios Nikolaos on the north-east coast of Crete. Passengers land at the quay or by tender, depending on the ship. The town is compact.

## Watch-outs

The town gets busy in summer, and the lake's cafés fill up. Parking is limited. Sun is strong, so bring sun cover and water.

## Lake Voulismeni

The small lake in the centre of town is a famous spot, with cafés around it and legends of a bottomless lake.

## Spinalonga

[Spinalonga](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Crete) is a former leper colony on an islet off the coast, reached by boat from the harbour. Boats run in season, and the island is a moving historical visit.

## Elounda and the coast

Elounda is a short drive away, with beaches and the boats to Spinalonga. The coast has bays and small villages.

## Food & shopping

Cretan food includes dakos, fresh fish, local honey and olive oil. Tavernas by the harbour are the easiest choice.

## Money & connectivity

The currency is the euro. Cards are accepted in most places, and ATMs are in town.

## Accessibility & mobility

The harbour and the lake area are flat. The town streets have steps. The Spinalonga boat has a boarding step. Ask your operator for accessible transport.
