Private Water Taxi in Elounda & Agios Nikolaos

From the Mirabello Gulf to the Cyclades — Crete's luxury lagoon, served by sea
Nos skippers partenaires opèrent depuis le golfe de Mirabello, avec la marina d'Agios Nikolaos — marina Pavillon Bleu en plein centre-ville — comme port d'attache. Ils savent quand le lagon d'Elounda, abrité derrière Spinalonga et la presqu'île de Kolokytha, reste lisse alors que la mer de Crète ouverte se creuse, quels pontons d'hôtels le long du lagon acceptent l'embarquement des clients, et comment caler une traversée plein nord vers Santorin autour du meltémi : départ tôt le matin, mer sur l'arrière, arrivée avant que la brise d'après-midi ne monte.
The Cyclades have no road — the sea is the route
From Elounda, Santorini and Milos lie straight across the Cretan Sea. The alternative is driving an hour back to Heraklion, then queueing for a scheduled ferry. A private fast boat leaves from the Mirabello Gulf itself and puts you on Santorini's caldera in about three hours, on your own schedule.
Elounda's palace hotels live on the water
The lagoon between Elounda, Plaka and the Kolokytha peninsula is lined with waterfront resorts — the Phaea Blue Palace (formerly the Blue Palace) even has its own jetty facing Spinalonga. Boarding a water taxi at the hotel pontoon replaces a taxi ride, a port transfer and a check-in queue with a two-minute walk from your suite.
Spinalonga and Olous only reveal themselves by boat
The Venetian fortress of Spinalonga has no bridge and never will; the sunken city of Olous lies beneath the shallows off Kolokytha. A private boat threads the sheltered lagoon past both before opening the throttle offshore — no coach tour ever gets this angle on the Gulf of Mirabello.
