Discover "The Island", a circular fortress rising impressively from a rocky hillside, overlooking the vast open seas. Just across from the majestic location of Elounda, lies Spinalonga, which in Greek means "long thorn", a place full of history and memories, that reflects on a small scale Crete’s amazing past.
