INTERESTING SIGHTS OF GOUVES AREA
Accommodation in Kato Gouves Crete Island, Greece. CretAquarium, Crete Golf Club and more...
On the north coast of Crete and to the east of Heraklion, this municipality spreads from the lovely beaches
a few kilometres inland to the fertile fields and picturesque villages that cling to the different hills.
In recent years, the tourist development has been very marked in this area, due on the one hand to its wonderful beaches, on the other hand, to its vicinity to Heraklion to the west and Chersonissos a few kilometres to the east. Nowadays Gouves has a population of around 5000 people.
Excursions and sightseeing in Kato Gouves...
At a short distance inland you can escape the lively racket of tourist life and find peace and quiet in a traditional setting. At Kato Gouves it is worth visiting the ruins of a pottery workshop of the Minoan period. It is also worth seeing the churches of the area, as that of Zoodochos Pigi ("the Source of Life"), the patron saint of Gouves, the cave of Aghia Paraskevi, close to the village Skotino, some 4 kilometres far from Gouves at the Southeast and the Monastery of Panaghia Eleousa at the village of Voros. The pretty chapels strewn all over the beautiful Cretan landscape will remain in your mind and in your heart long after your holidays are over… If you are on your way to Lassithi, a ride through this lovely region will increase your enjoyment.
