Spinalonga featured in the British television series Who Pays the Ferryman?. It is also the setting for the 2005 novel The Island by Victoria Hislop (*), the story of a family's ties to the leper colony; the book was adapted for television by Mega Channel Greece.
The day out included a bus journey with a stop at a lovely village and two trips by boat, one to Spinalonga and the other to a beach where we had a BBQ lunch and a stop for tea at a large resort.
