Description:

Feel the marine breeze on your skin as you set sail for the island of Gramvousa. Experience the pristine water along stretches of scenic beach—a tropical atmosphere with a touch of medieval history. Explore the island and take a break by the blue lagoon.

Across the Bay of Kissamos sits the former pirate island of Gramvousa, rich with picturesque views and an interesting past. Upon arrival at Kissamos Port, set sail for this paradise island and cruise around the steep caves of the Gramvousa Peninsula. Along the way your guide tells you the history of the island and explains the geographic phenomenon in Crete that causes its western side to rise out of the sea while the eastern side sinks.

Upon arrival at Gramvousa—a one-time pirate hideout—disembark for a visit to the half-ruined Venetian castle atop the island before enjoying a traditional Greek lunch. Take a cruise on the neon-blue lagoon to see the Balos and Tigani beaches, while admiring the impressive landscape that surrounds you.

Spend the remainder of your day exploring or simply take a breaking, swimming, and soaking up the sun's rays at Tigani Beach.
