Back to newsA new villa has opened in Crete catering specifically to fans of British author Victoria Hislop, best known for her novel "The Island," set on and around the historic leper colony of Spinalonga near Elounda in eastern Crete. Hislop's work has drawn a significant following of literary tourists to the island, particularly to the Lasithi region where Spinalonga is located. The villa appears designed to complement this type of cultural visit, offering a base for travelers who want to explore the locations that inspired the book. Spinalonga itself is accessible by short boat trips from Elounda and Plaka and remains one of Crete's most visited historical sites. Travelers interested in this experience should plan visits to the eastern coast, where accommodation, boat tours, and the island fortress are all within easy reach.
