ELOUNDA
CANAL
The man who inspired and executed the project was the French chief of Spinalonga Emile- Amedee, Dupourque.
The construction began in the 27th of February in 1897 and it was finished in next year’s spring. Its completion had as a result the development of maritime trade between Elounda and Spinalonga and Agios Nikolaos, while nowadays it makes easier the crossing of fishing and tourist boats. Here, we drop the anchor in an idyllic spot, where you are invited in a relaxing swim and a delicious meal by the sea, that it will truly enchant you.
