As the sun glistens on the waves, we leave behind the tranquilly of Kolokitha and set sail towards the legendary island of Spinalonga.

The history of Spinalonga is marked by strategic importance and human resilience. Originally fortified by the Venetians in the late 16th century to protect the Gulf of Elounda from pirate attacks and Ottoman expansion, the island later passed into Ottoman control in the 18th century.

In the early 20th century, it took on a very different role when it was established as a leper colony, becoming one of the last active leper settlements in Europe. From 1903 until 1957, people suffering from leprosy were isolated there, forming a small community despite difficult conditions. Today, Spinalonga stands as a powerful historical site, reflecting layers of Venetian, Ottoman, and modern Greek history, as well as the strength and dignity of those who lived there. This island is a captivating blend of history, echoing with the remnants of bygone civilizations, marauding pirates, formidable Venetian conquerors, and Turkish settlers. Joining a guided tour will unveil the fascinating history of the island.

The enchanting adventure continues as we transition from the sea to the land and hop on a bus that swiftly transports us to a delightful cultural experience – an olive oil tasting.
