Day 01

Elounda and Mirabello Bay Elegance

Day 02

Historic Spinalonga Island

• Somewhere hidden in the embrace of the bay lies the island of Spinalonga. It is not easy to refer to Spinalonga and treat it as if it were just any other island.
• Not because these elements do not exist in the surrounding environment, but because the shadow of history falls heavily here, as the old city of lepers continues to awe those who arrive as visitors.
• So we are now officially talking about the second most visited site in Crete after the Palace of Knossos.
