There are plenty of excellent beaches and whether you have a preference for private rocky areas, tiny sandy coves or large stretches covered with sun beds and umbrellas, a summer holiday to Gouves satisfies every taste. There are also lots of water sports available along the extensive water front. One of Crete’s finest sea front promenades is found at Kato Gouves. Possidonos Street is a paved walkway runs for 3km, has ornate street lamps every 10m and is packed full of shops and tavernas for the sustenance and entertainment you need on a Gouves summer holiday.

There are more than enough sites of interest. As well as the boat marina, the traditional buildings of Pano Gouves and the churches, including the beautiful seaside church of Saints Constantine and Helen set in a small pine grove, one of the most pleasant excursions of a Gouves summer holiday is to the summit of Mt. Ederi. But, only 20kms away is Knossos, the great Minoan Palace and if there’s one thing not to be missed on a summer holiday to Gouves, it’s this important Bronze Age archaeological site.
