3Spinalonga (Kalydon)
The history and the culture of the island of Spinalonga became one with human tragedy in the course of time. It has been an important place throughout history for the ancient Greeks, as natural protection for the city of Olous, for the Saracens as a hiding place for their pirates, for the Venetians as a fortress, for the Turks as a settlement and for a long time the island served as a leper colony. After our boat ride to Spinalonga, we return to Plaka, where you can enjoy a coffee or your lunch, before going back to our bus. An amazing trip with many destinations that you definitely should not miss!
