The Journey
Spinalonga
Spinalonga, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is an islet steeped in history and resilience. Originally depopulated by Arab raids in the 7th century, it became a vital salt production site for the Venetians in the 16th century. However, it's most notably remembered as a leper colony from 1903 to 1957, a poignant symbol of isolation and human endurance. Explore the remarkably preserved Venetian fortress, wander through the abandoned yet evocative village streets, and reflect on the island's layered past. Spinalonga offers a powerful and unforgettable experience, connecting visitors to a story of human ingenuity and strength in the face of adversity.
Kolokytha
Kolokytha, meaning "pumpkin" in Greek, is a secluded peninsula and beach paradise located across Mirabello Bay from Spinalonga. Escape the crowds and discover pristine turquoise waters, soft sandy beaches, and a tranquil atmosphere perfect for relaxation and exploration. The sheltered bay is ideal for snorkeling, offering glimpses into a vibrant underwater world teeming with marine life. Explore the surrounding natural beauty, including hidden coves and picturesque landscapes. Kolokytha offers a refreshing escape into nature, a place to unwind and appreciate the unspoiled beauty of Crete.
