Spinalonga is definitely worth a visit. On the boat trip over there I read about the island, a former leper colony, in the booklet provided. Its history is amazing. It was crowded but so interesting. You can go into the tiny church and light a...More

Must see!! Make sure to read the amazing book "the island" by Victoria Hislop before visiting. It is an old venetian fortress which was used as a leper colony.

Amazing Views!!! We had so much fun hiking and exploring the island- there's so much to discover! Wear sneakers!
Booked through jet2 holidays. Very enjoyable and included a boat trip which included a bbq on a boat very nice visit.

Spinalonga island is a nice place to have a cruise to and a walk around the ruins. Try to get a guide to take you around and tell the rather sad history of the island and the leper colony.
