A local would say...

Greece's most lagoon-like beach — where the sea is three shades of blue at once and nothing around you moves.

A stunning lagoon-like sandy beach sheltered on the wild and remote Gramvousa Peninsula's western tip. Turquoise waters overlook two islets — Agria (wild) and Imeri (tame). A 1.2km path leads down from the car park to the sandy cliffs, or take the boat cruise from Kissamos.
