Where time stops
Spinalonga is an 8.5 hectare dry and arid rocky islet located at the mouth of the natural harbor of Elounda. The island serves as a natural "defense mechanism" for the port of Elounda. On the remains of an ancient acropolis, the Venetians erected a huge castle in 1579. Spinalonga is also known as the "island of lepers", because it was here from 1905 to 1957 that lepers from Crete and Greece were quarantined.
