Kolokythas (Greek: Κολοκύθας, also known as Kolokythia and Vryonisi Βρυονήσι) is a Greek islet with a hotel. It is part of municipale Agios Nikolaos of the regional unit Lasithi, eastern Crete. It is located some 850 m east of the Peninsula Spinalonga (big/large Spinalonga) and forms a bay with it. The strand on those peninsula is called Kolokitas Beach (spelling might vary) due to its view on the island.[1]
