What to expect

Spinalonga (Kalydon)
Pass by

Abandoned by its last inhabitant in 1962, Spinalonga is a monument of outstanding universal value, according to UNESCO. The World Heritage Convention describes the islet as “an important example of a seaward bastion-type fortress that portrays important phases of human history” and “a masterpiece of human ingenuity” that “demonstrates human values.” Spinalonga had a tumultuous history, starting with the 7th century when Arab raids depopulated the island. It remained uninhabited until the 16th century when the Venetians occupying Crete began extracting salt from seawater there.
1h

Kolokytha (meaning “pumpkin”) is a small, unspoiled peninsula and beach area directly across the bay from Spinalonga Island, near Elounda in northeastern Crete. It’s known for its turquoise waters, quiet atmosphere, and excellent opportunities to explore marine life and natural beauty.
The waters around Kolokytha and the greater Mirabello Gulf are remarkably clean and relatively sheltered, making them ideal for snorkeling and observing marine biodiversity.
