Gramvousa |
| The Gramvousa peninsula is uninhabited because of its rocky and rough terrain and its high mountains (713 m). |
|
||
|
A rather poor and stony gravel-road leads into the peninsula from the village of Kalyviani. From the road you have a magnificent view of Rodopos, the other peninsula of the area, and through a small binocular you can see many details of Rodopos' steep west coast. | ||
| The road ends in a parking ground with a primitive café, where goats go freely among the tables - in this connection I would recommend that you keep an eagle eye on your Greek salad, as it is a favourite dish of the goats. |

|
A path leads towards the Balos bay from the parking ground. | ||
|
After the flat plain, begins the steep descent to the beach. |
|
||
|
There is a fabulous view over the tempting beach and the incredible Tigani rock from the path. | ||
| Three kilometres to the north lies the Imeri Gramvousa island with its old Venetian castle, and you also see the Agria Gramvousa even further away. |
|
||
| From the harbour west of Kissamos are several daily boat trips to Imeri Gramvousa and Balos bay. | |||
