• Spinalonga (Kalydon) - Deserted by its final resident in 1962, Spinalonga is recognized by UNESCO as a monument of exceptional universal significance. The World Heritage Convention describes the islet as “a significant example of a seaward bastion-type fortress that illustrates crucial phases of human history” and “a masterpiece of human ingenuity” that “reflects human values.” Spinalonga has a rich history, beginning in the 7th century when Arab raids left the island uninhabited. It remained vacant until the 16th century when the Venetians, who occupied Crete, began extracting salt from seawater there.

Recognizing the island’s commercial and strategic significance, the Venetians decided to fortify it and provide accommodation for salt pan workers and military personnel.

• Kolokytha Beach - Kolokytha (meaning “pumpkin”) is a small, pristine peninsula and beach area directly across the bay from Spinalonga Island, near Elounda in northeastern Crete. It is renowned for its turquoise waters, tranquil atmosphere, and excellent opportunities to explore marine life and natural beauty. The waters around Kolokytha and the greater Mirabello Gulf are exceptionally clean and relatively sheltered, making them perfect for snorkeling and observing marine biodiversity.
