Day 12: Friday July 13


This morning we got on a day cruise to Gramvousa and Balos.

First stop was Gramvousa which was BEAUTIFUL!

We hiked up to this fortress on the mountain!

(fun fact: today was approx. 110 degrees.....yes we hiked that in this heat)

The sea was this amazing turquoise-blue color and we were so high we had a gorgeous view


        See how high we were!
















After the hike we went for a swim in the beautiful sea which was the most amazingly refreshing feeling ever.

We met this little old man who is the only inhabitant of the island so everyone called him the "mayor"! he was very sweet and tried to convince the girls on our trip to stay on the island with him! lol

before we left we were given a bag of salt that was collected from the sea surrounding the island.....I have salt from the sea I  swam in !!!!!!! :D

Next was Balos which had a super cool shallow water lagoon thing and then a beach and on the other side of the beach is the sea.

It was gorgeous! We got VIP treatment and the CEO of the cruise company took us in a private boat around for a while and showed us the cockpit and engine room of the cruise ship.

it was a lot of fun and really a gorgeous place!
