SPINALONGA – ELOUNDA
Elounda is a picturesque village in the lovely Mirabello Bay. The inhabitants live mostly from tourism and every summer welcome thousands of visitors from all over the world.
Visit this traditional village, walk along the little harbor and enjoy your lunch or dinner just a breath away from the sea.
Spinalonga is a small island 5 km away from Elounda. It is mainly known as the Leper Island, as that is where lepers from Crete and the rest of Greece were quarantined until 1957.
You can visit Spinalonga by boat for a tour of its ruined buildings.
