Overview of Gouves

Gouves holidays take you to the north coast of the picturesque Greek island of Crete, just 12 miles from the capital, Heraklion. Holidays in Gouves are an excellent choice for families and couples looking to escape the fast pace of back home. Gouves is a well-developed seaside town with great amenities and beautiful beaches, great for those lazy beach days under the hot Greek sun. The beach is one of the favourites in Crete, well organised for swimming and great water sport facilities, fabulous for the more active type. Gouves was once a small hillside village on Mount Ederi, now the traditional village looks out over the developed resort which is officially known as Kato Gouves, translated to lower Gouves. The old village is home to some lovely little authentic taverns, which are great for sampling some delicious traditional Greek cuisine. Holidays to Gouves are perfect for an upbeat Greek holiday without all the noise of 18 to 30’s clubs, although bars and discos are plentiful for quiet drinks and a dance, all you need for a fantastic family night out.
