Setting Sail for Spinalonga!

Spinalonga carries with it a tragic history: it was once the place where lepers were isolated to prevent the disease from spreading to the rest of the community. However, today, the small island across from Agios Nikolaos, Elounda, and Plaka has become a destination for those looking to explore a unique location and swim in its waters.

In most cases, boat tours not only offer transportation to and from Spinalonga but also include guided tours to immerse visitors in the island’s history.
