Description
Ελληνικά: Η Σπιναλόγκα είναι ένα μικρό νησάκι το οποίο κλείνει από τα βόρεια τον κόλπο της Ελούντας στην Επαρχία Μεραμπέλλου του νομού Λασιθίου Κρήτης. Το αρχαίο του όνομα ήταν Καλυδών αλλά μετά την κατάληψη του από τους Ενετούς ονομάσθηκε Σπιναλόγκα. Οχυρώθηκε άριστα από τους Ενετούς τόσο από κατασκευαστικής και αρχιτεκτονικής άποψης όσο και από απόψεως αισθητικής του όλου τοπίου που και σήμερα ακόμη διατηρεί την αξεπέραστη ομορφιά του.
English: The island of Spinalonga (official name: Kalidon) is located at the eastern section of Crete, near the town of Elounda. The name of the island, Spinalonga, is Venetian, meaning "long thorn", and has roots in the period of Venetian occupation. This location is also the setting for Victoria Hislop's bestselling novel The Island and Werner Herzog's experimental short film Last Words.
