Description

Best deals for Spinalonga No Frills Tour.

Spinalonga is one of Crete’s most talked about sights. It was Europe’s last leper colony and scores of lepers lived here, in exile from the mainland, until 1957. Sail to this eerie island just 15-minutes from the mainland and explore this relic of the past.

Arriving at the island, you’ll find yourself immersed in its history right away. Over the years, it’s been a Venetian outpost, an Ottoman town and most notoriously, a leper colony which led to it being dubbed the ‘isle of tears’.

A guided walk will show you around the Venetian fortress and the main street lined with the shops and houses where the lepers attempted to live ordinary lives. You’ll get to look round the old hospital and graveyard, too. Later, you’ll sail back to Elounda where you can swim in the sea, stretch out in the sunshine or watch the world go by at a waterside café. There’s also free time to find lunch in a local taverna and a visit to the chic resort of Agios Nikolaos.

Available from Musement.
