Lagoon of Balos
Lagoon of Balos is at the north west of Crete and at west coast of cape Gramvousa , 10 miles far from the port of Kissamos and 9 miles far from the gulf of Falasarna.
Balos lagoon is one of the best spots in Greece with a unique natural spell.
Also Balos lagoon is one of the purest, sandy beaches of Crete and covered with fine white and pink sand, the same sand covers the bottom of the sea and grants to the sea an emerald color.
The splendid scenery reminds you of exotic place and enchants anyone who visits.
The blend of glowing white and pink sand and the unbelievable turquoise waters of the lagoon have been brought to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and every year appears in matching lists.
Gramvousa Island
Gramvousa Island is 9 miles far from the port of Kissamos and 9 miles far from the gulf of Falasarna.
We anchor in a bay with crystal water and you can swim at the small beach of the island and visit the Castle of Gramvousa.
Because it’s strategic location, Gramvousa was fortified by the Venetians on 16th century, who construct a fortified castle on the top of a steep rock at an altitude of 137 m.
It was one of the three castles to remain under Venetian dominion after the Turkish occupation of Crete (the other two were those of Sitia and Spinalonga).
Finally the castle passed on Turkish domination in 1692.
During the Greek revolution against the Turks, Gramvoussa played an important role and it was the first part of Crete that becomes free from Turkish in 1825.
The rocky island became a base for over 3000 revolutionaries but after became a base of pirates that plundered every ship that passed to the seas around the island, so with the agreement of the Greek Government a English-French military force took over the island of Gramvoussa in 1828.
