The Island of Lepres - Spinalonga Crete Greece

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

Contributor Grigorelis created this memorable drone video of a little-known Greek island called Spinalonga.  Located just a few meters/ft from the island of Crete, Spinalonga wasn't originally a separate island.  It was created by the Venetians, who controlled Crete for a time and "disconnected" Spinalong from the thin peninsula which had connected it to the Crete mainland, building a large fortress upon it.  In the 20th century, Spinalonga served as a leper colony, the last such instance to remain active in Europe.
