Overview
Explore one of Crete's most compelling historical sites: Spinalonga Island. This tiny islet in Mirabello Bay served as a Venetian fortress, Ottoman settlement, and finally one of Europe's last leper colonies until 1957. Made famous by Victoria Hislop's bestselling novel "The Island," Spinalonga offers a moving and fascinating experience. Combine this with the charming lakeside town of Agios Nikolaos.
