Spinalonga island
Venetian fortress
Former leper colony
What to expect
The tiny island of Spinalonga is just a short hop away from Crete but a visit is like stepping back in time. Centuries of history are packed within the walls that encircle the islet. You'll sail to Spinalonga from Elounda, a 25-minute cruise.On arrival at the islet – which is no more than 435m long and 230m wide – you'll find yourself immersed in its history straight away. Over the years, Spinalonga has been a Venetian outpost, an Ottoman town and a leper colony, which led to it being dubbed the ‘isle of tears'.A guided walk will show you around the Venetian fortress and the leper colony – which closed in the 1950s. See the main street, still lined with the shops and houses where the lepers attempted to live ordinary lives. And look round the old hospital and graveyard. After fascinating if poignant visit, you'll board the boat and sail back to Elounda.

Maria was marvellous and spoke so well. There was nothing we didn’t like. A pickup from the hotel would have been better despite it being a short trip.

The tour guide Maria to Spinalonga was very efficient and everyone was on board in no time. She gave us a great insight into the world of the lepers and her knowledge was very extensive

We loved this excursion, Spinalonga is such an interesting place, even our children (11 & 13) enjoyed it. The guide was very informative and really knew her stuff about the islands history, she seemed genuinely interested in it as well. It definitely worked better doing the morning trip as we were the first boat there, as we were leaving it was getting very busy so I’d imagine it would become difficult to follow your guide. The boat was great too and we loved taking on the views on tge trip.

We had a great time, the Tui rep did a brilliant job of explaining the history of the island. Our 2 children, 11 & 13 also really enjoyed the trip. The boat transfer was also very enjoyable and we loved seeing the surrounding scenery on the trip over. Definitely better to get there early in the morning as was very busy when we were leaving.

We were late getting off. Met at 8:45 but didn’t set off from the boat to near 10am. Lots of waiting around. The boat was clean and had good facilities. The tour guide was great, very knowledgeable. It was very hot and very busy on the island though. The shop on the island was extortionate for drinks so bring your own or buy on the boat. Overall really pleased we booked it.

Good amount of time in the guided tour combined with free time after to explore on your own. Nite that there is a cafe and toilet in the island should you need it!

Guide was superb! Very knowledgeable. Too many trips/tourists arrive at the same time. It’s difficult to keep up with your group/guide due to the number of people in an area at any one time. Time restraints of the tour meant a lot of the leper colony couldn’t be shown fully. No time was given for anybody wanting to read the information on display (and there was a lot of it!) Too much time was given to the various occupations of the island and not enough to the leprosy story.

It was a very good experience but the prebooked trip from UK said a meal was included and in fact it wasn't so this was misleading. The actual boat trip and tour of island were top notch though. Tui should make sure it advertises its excursions and what is or not included correctly.
