Although the island got its ancient name Kalydon again in 1954, the former name from the Venetian period is more common today.
According to Venetian documents, the name of the island comes from the Greek sentence fragment “στην Ελούντα” / “stin Elounda” with the meaning “after Elounda”.
The Venetians were unable to understand the expression, so they translated it into their own language. They called the place "spina lunga" (in German "long thorn"); a name as it was cultivated by the local population.
Until 1957 the island was a leprosy station and one of the last leprosy colonies in Europe.
