Spinalonga Island

Spinalonga Island in Crete is a popular photo spot due to the following reasons:

1.) Historical Significance: Spinalonga Island is a former Venetian fortress and later a leper colony. The history of the island is fascinating and provides a unique backdrop for photographs.

2.) Scenic Beauty: The island is located in the Gulf of Mirabello and is surrounded by crystal-clear waters. The scenery is breathtaking, and the island itself is also picturesque with its historic ruins and architecture.

3.) Unique Atmosphere: The island’s history as a leper colony creates a unique atmosphere that can be captured in photographs. The abandoned buildings and ruins are a testament to the past, and the island’s isolation gives it a haunting beauty.
