About
Grama Bay is a remote, deep-water cove on the western side of the Karaburun Peninsula along the Albanian Ionian coast. Its name comes from more than a thousand ancient inscriptions carved into the surrounding rock faces by sailors and travellers since antiquity. With no road access, it is reached only by boat and prized for its clear water and dramatic cliffs.
