Gramvousa, also Grampousa refers to two small uninhabited islands off the coast of a peninsula also known Gramvousa Peninsula (in north-western Crete in the regional unit of Chania The Gramvousa Peninsula forms the more westerly of the two pairs of peninsulae in northwestern Crete (the other being Rodopos Peninsula), and is the western part of Kissamos Bay.
The Gramvousa islands are administered by the municipality of Kissamos.
Imeri Gramvousa , which translates to Tame Gramvousa, hosts the remains of a Venetian fort and the remains of buildings left behind by Cretan insurgents, who were compelled to live as pirates during the Greek War of Independence. Today, Imeri Gramvousa is a popular tourist attraction.
Agria Gramvousa , which translates to Wild Gramvousa, is much less hospitable and is located due north of Imeri Gramvousa. It has also been named False Gramvousa.
In ancient times the larger island was known as Korykos, which means leather bag. The island was named "Gramvousa" in honour of Vousa, the wife of a pirate chief and the only inhabitant of the island to evade capture when the pirates were forcibly removed.
