Welcome to Gramvousa Island, the first landfall when sailing from the Peloponnese to Crete. This island is renowned not only for its breathtaking beaches and historic Venetian fortress but also for the mysterious shipwreck rusting along its shore. The wreck is that of the Dimitrios P, a cargo ship that ran aground near Gramvousa in January 1968. The exact cause of the stranding remains a topic of speculation. Some suggest the ship was overwhelmed by severe weather and rough seas, while others believe it was abandoned by its crew due to mechanical issues. Whatever the true story, today the wreck forms an iconic image in the turquoise waters surrounding the island.

We’ve made a significant upgrade to ensure we can sleep soundly and securely in our bunks when anchored. There’s nothing like the peace of mind that comes from knowing your boat is safe, even in challenging conditions. Our old anchor weighed 20 kg, but now we’ve stepped up to a 33 kg Vulcan, giving us even more stability and confidence while at anchor. It’s a game-changer for future adventures, making sure we’re well-prepared for whatever the seas throw at us! 🌊
