Gramvousa comprises two small islands off the northwestern coast of Crete, Greece, in the Mediterranean Sea. The larger island features a 16th-century Venetian fortress with stone walls and cannons overlooking turquoise waters. Visitors typically reach the islands by boat from nearby coastal towns, swim in pristine coves, and explore the historical ruins of the fortification complex.
Gramvousa is an uninhabited islet located at the northwestern tip of Crete, Greece, administratively part of the Chania regional unit. It is best known for its 16th-century Venetian fortress and its proximity to the Balos tidal lagoon on the adjoining peninsula, both of which sit within a protected natura conservation zone in the eastern Mediterranean.
