Driving from Elounda and reaching Spinalonga

Elounda is a quiet, upmarket resort spread along the Mirabello coast, and with no airport of its own it rewards having a car to move between its scattered corners. According to Rental Center Crete, Elounda sits about 72 kilometres from Heraklion, its nearest airport, a drive of roughly 1.5 to 2 hours, and the town of Agios Nikolaos lies about 10 kilometres south. The car pays off most at Spinalonga: rather than the 30-minute boat from Elounda harbour or the hour-long trip from Agios Nikolaos, you can drive a few minutes north to Plaka and take the short 15-minute crossing to the island fortress. Closer to town, a thin causeway leads to the Kolokytha peninsula and its sandy coves, crossed by the Poros canal that the French army cut in 1897, near the submerged remains of ancient Olous by the old salt pans. For Spinalonga, the east-coast beaches, and the drive south to Agios Nikolaos, a rental car is what connects a spread-out resort.
