Busiest around August · quietest in January — in peak season book a sunset slot 4–6 weeks ahead; off-season means soft light, thin crowds and easy availability.

Why Spinalonga Island is a great place to shoot

Spinalonga Island in Crete is a popular photo spot due to the following reasons: 1.) Historical Significance: Spinalonga Island is a former Venetian fortress and later a leper colony. The history of the island is fascinating and provides a unique backdrop for photographs. 2.) Scenic Beauty: The island is located in the Gulf of Mirabello and is surrounded by crystal-clear waters. The scenery is breathtaking, and the island itself is also picturesque with its historic ruins and architecture. 3.) Unique Atmosphere: The island's history as a leper colony creates a unique atmosphere that can be captured in photographs. The abandoned buildings and ruins are a testament to the past, and the island's isolation gives it a haunting beauty. 4.) Boat Ride: To reach the island, visitors must take a boat ride from nearby towns such as Plaka or Elounda. The boat ride provides excellent photo opportunities of the island from a distance. 5.) Stunning Sunsets: The island's location in the Gulf of Mirabello provides stunning sunsets, which are a perfect photo opportunity. The sunset view from the island is breathtaking and can create an unforgettable photo.

Did an engagement photo shoot with Sofia and she was so good! We haven’t done photo shoots before and she directed us where to go for the best light and how to pose and the photos turned out great! 10/10
