Main Gateway, Spinalonga, Crete, 12 Sep 2025
Spinalonga was made famous by Victoria Hislop's book "The Island" about when it was a leper colony from 1904 until 1957.
The Venetians controlled the island and build a fortress.
It later became a refuge for Muslim families fearing persecution before becoming a leper colony.
It is now the second most visited tourist site in Crete, and sixth in Greece overall.
