Spinalonga Fortress
Spinalonga Fortress is located on a small island in Crete, Greece, and is a military fortification with a long history and unique charm.

A stunning place, an insanely beautiful sea, the colors of the Mediterranean are astonishing with a million shades of blue. The island is surrounded by a wall, with ruins and remains of a fortress, dating back to Byzantine times. The view is stunning.
