A deserted island rich in history in Elounda.

The island of Spinalonga, nicknamed "The Island of the Forgotten" by Victoria Hislop in her novel of the same name, boasts an impressive Venetian fortress overlooking the sea. Originally named Calydon, the island was fortified for the first time during the Hellenistic period. Today, the island is deserted except by tourists who come to discover this site steeped in history. In season, boats leave every half hour from the small port of Elounda, while a large number of cruises to the island are provided by tourist agencies.

DE LA COTE L'ILE EST TRES BELLE MAIS ON PEUT PRENDRE UN BATEAU DE ELOUNDA POUR S'Y RENDRE ET DECOUVRIR CE QUE FUR L'ILE DES LEPREUX

Intéressante visite après une promenade en bateau de 30 minutes.
Belle vue depuis le sommet de l'île.
Le tout est cependant un peu cher!

A ne pas manquer
Une visite à faire absolument,accessible facilement grâce aux nombreux bateaux faisant la traversée.L'ile des lépreux mérite une visite et gagnerait à être plus documentée. Cependant l'atmosphère emouvante qui regne la bas est bien presente,nullement gâchée par le core touŕistique.

L'île est certes la dernière léproserie d'Europe, mais c'est avant tout une magnifique forteresse du 16eme siècle "à la Vauban" avec ses bastions, ses cannonieres, ses remparts inclinés.
La traversée au départ de Plaka est la plus courte, moins de 10 mn, pas le temps d'avoir le mal de mer : 10€ par adulte 5 € par enfant et des rotations de 20 mn un peu aléatoires en fin de journée.
Traversée possible aussi au départ d'un petit port à l'est de la presqu'île d'Elounta, ne pas oublier que la route qui y mène n'y est pas goudronnée
