The settlement of Elounda dates back to ancient times, the Minoan/Roman city of Olous lay only metres from the current site of the town. The archaeological site of Olous is submerged near Elounda's salt flats and can still be seen today.Texts found at the site described a pact between the city of Olous and the Minoan capital of Knossos and also the island of Rhodes. The city of Olous features in a Greek Myth concerning the mountain city of Oxa, this is known as the "Myth of Mount Oxa". After our stay in Elounda, we take a boat to visit Spinalonga, the small island at the entrance of Elounda bay. The fortress of Spinalonga, which was built by the Venetians, is one of the strongest on the whole island of Crete. Spinalonga is also well known as the place of the last leper colony.
