Crete: Spinalonga

We drive from Agios Nikolaos port to the resort of Elounda, an unforgettable beauty famed throughout the Aegean for its gorgeous green hills, its sugar-sand beaches and its pristine, inviting sea.

From Elounda we sail the calm waters of the Bay of Elounda for the island fortress of Spinalonga, a former Venetian bastion and, until 1957, a leper colony. Spinalonga also features in Victoria Hislop’s debut novel "The Island".

We leave Spinalonga for a small nearby bay to swim in its turquoise waters and enjoy a barbecue on the beach.
