Is it Spinalonga?
The leper colony island 1903-1957.
Known today as Kalydon, a tourist attraction.

No it isn't Cathy (unless it has two names) but you are so close and these clever Dicks all know what it is. You are right it's a former leper colony and here's the LINK to the wiki article and I see you are right after all, I was calling it the wrong name.
So exactly right Cathy.
Next one?

Strictly speaking Kev, no you're wrong. It was the Great Eastern actually. But you have it right.
