点评:Gramvousa is a small, uninhabited island near the famous Balos Lagoon. If you’re planning a visit, you have two main options:
- By ferry: this option includes a visit to Balos Lagoon as well.
- By a private boat: you can rent one from the port of Kissamos. While this is a more expensive option, it’s convenient for groups of tourists.
If you choose the ferry, keep in mind that you’ll have limited time to enjoy Gramvousa, since most of the trip is spent at Balos. In this case, I recommend focusing on just one of Gramvousa’s highlights: either hike up to the castle or relax on the beach. If you try to check off both of them, you'll end up with two unsatisfactory experiences instead of a pleasant one.
For now, I’ll focus on the beach and leave the castle ruins for another time.
Gramvousa Beach is a wild spot. There’s a small bar where you can grab a drink, but that’s about it in terms of amenities.
The crystal-clear water is perfect for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts, but there are no sunbeds or umbrellas available for rent. While there are a few trees that offer shade, they’re far too few to accommodate the hundreds of tourists arriving by ferry. Bringing your own beach umbrella might be a good idea.
The water has some rocky areas, so swimming shoes are highly recommended.
One important thing to note: in the bar's area, the entrance to the water is on a smooth rock, which can be quite slippery. The water here is shallow for a few meters, but the slab ends abruptly at a drop-off where the depth reaches 3–4 meters. The underwater view in this area is stunning, with hundreds of colorful fish swimming near the rock. However, if you’re not a confident swimmer, it’s best to avoid venturing too far in this spot.
翻译:格拉姆沃萨岛是一座无人居住的小岛,靠近著名的巴洛斯泻湖。如果您计划游览该岛,有两个主要选择:
- 乘坐渡轮:此选项还包括游览巴洛斯泻湖。
- 乘坐私人船只:您可以从基萨莫斯港租一艘。虽然这是一个更昂贵的选择,但对于团体游客来说很方便。
如果您选择渡轮,请记住,您享受格拉姆沃萨岛的时间有限,因为大部分行程都在巴洛斯度过。在这种情况下,我建议只关注格拉姆沃萨岛的一个亮点:徒步前往城堡或在海滩上放松。如果您试图同时完成这两项,那么您将获得两次不满意的体验,而不是一次愉快的体验。
现在,我将专注于海滩,将城堡遗址留到下次再说。
格拉姆沃萨海滩是一个荒野之地。这里有一间小酒吧,您可以在那里喝一杯,但就便利设施而言,仅此而已。
清澈的海水非常适合浮潜和潜水爱好者,但没有可供出租的日光浴床或遮阳伞。虽然有几棵树可以提供遮荫,但数量太少,无法容纳数百名乘坐渡轮抵达的游客。带上自己的沙滩伞可能是个好主意。
水中有一些岩石区域,因此强烈建议您穿游泳鞋。
需要注意的一件重要事情是:在酒吧区域,水的入口位于光滑的岩石上,可能相当滑。这里的水浅几米,但板块突然在一个深达 3-4 米的陡坡处结束。这个区域的水下景色令人惊叹,数百条色彩斑斓的鱼在岩石附近游动。但是,如果您不擅长游泳,最好避免在这个地方冒险太远。
