Crete Gramvousa - Balos

Gramvousa-Balos is a spectacular place to be on the island of Crete. It has fascinating features, including rare animal species, beaches, flora, and the Venetian castle. It is pertinent to note that the Balos lagoon is situated right in Gramvousa and the Tigani Peninsula. Still, Gramvousa is also called the Tigani Peninsula, meaning that Balos is entirely contained within it. The great archaeological building, the Venetian castle, was built to protect the island of Crete against the Turkish occupation. This makes it the only part of the island that was not invaded during the invasion witnessed across the whole island. Gramvousa was liberated earlier in 1825 from the Turkish while the whole island was liberated in 1898. There are lots of peculiar things found on this part of Crete the island. Hire a car that will take you around these amazing areas at the ports of the island. There are boats to take you through the lagoons, but none of them will take you from the airport to the Gramvousa and back. Car rental services are provided to see the amazing creatures on the island.
