The picturesque lake of Agios Nikolaos, Enjoy the amazing cliffs where cliff diving games are taking place every year! Would you dare to dive from that high?
We find that location on the mythology as the place where Zeus took Europe after he kiddnapped her transformed into a Bull. Later on Europe gave birth to Minos the ancient king of Crete and founder of the Minoan civilization.
Later myths suggest that this bottomless lake is connected to the Volcano in Santorini as bubbles and a yellowish collour appeared after the last explosion of the volcano in 1950

The island of Spinalonga, officially known as Kalydon, is located in the Gulf of Elounda in north-eastern Crete, in Lasithi, next to the town of Plaka. The island is further assigned to the area of Kalydon. It is near the Spinalonga peninsula ("large Spinalonga") – which often causes confusion as the same name is used for both. The official Greek name of the island today is Kalydon.
Originally, Spinalonga was not an island – it was part of the island of Crete. During Venetian occupation the island was carved out of the coast for defence purposes and a fort was built there.
During Venetian rule, salt was harvested from salt pans around the island. The island has also been used as a leper colony. Spinalonga has appeared in novels, television series, and a short film.
