Freddowasher - I read that too after visiting and you can relive the book over and over - amazing!

My daughter also read the book and however she already went on vacation to Crete once, we decided to go for 1 week together so we will be able to visit Spinalonga ourselves. We will walk there ourselves within 1 month!!!

As I saw the tunnel it felt as if I had been there. But I only read the book..."The Island" of Victoria Hislop. It was amazing how it was written and I became curious about the island... Terrible history...
