Nope, it’s not my poor attempt at Spanglish or a game. This is the name of an island off the coast of Crete that was first a Venetians fort and then a leper’s colony from early 1900s right up to 1950 something.

We took a 4 hrs trip here on a boat, with a 1hr walking tour of the island. Very beautiful and very hot!

The guide we had was brilliant. She was feisty and said exactly what she thought – telling two arguing Greek women off, telling a mum off for moaning her voice would wake the baby and then gripes about the Greek government not investing in the history of the leper’s but letting some woman archaeologist dig up some old ruins. Great day!!
