Take a saunter along the town’s paved walkway, which runs for about 3km along the coast and is dotted with pretty street lamps. You can admire the boats bobbing in the marina and stop off at a beach taverna for a Greek coffee or a glass of Cretan wine.
Set in the side of Mount Ederi is Pano Gouves, a top pick for voyages of discovery. This traditional village has twisty streets, whitewashed houses, tavernas and a trio of pretty churches to explore. It’s a burnt-orange haven of natural sights – all basically untouched by tourists – so go and have a wander.
Get up close to seahorses, jellyfish, sharks and other cool creatures of the Mediterranean at Cretaquarium in neighbouring Gournes, just a five-minute drive away. Curved glass tanks expose some of the most fascinating fish and underwater life, so bring the kids and prepare to make some unexpected friends.
Gouves, Crete (Heraklion Area)
Located in the rocky foothills of Mount Ederi, Gouves Beach offers sheltered bays and golden sands. It has parasols and sunbeds for lounging and exciting water sports to keep everyone entertained. There’s a great variety of restaurants and cafés on the road, with spectacular views of the beach.
Gouves, Crete (Heraklion Area)
Treat your tastebuds to delicious Greek food and hospitality; oven-baked lamb kleftiko, juicy kebabs and fresh fish are all on the menu. Greek tavernas and restaurants are dotted along the beach and tucked away up side roads, with regular live bands and traditional Greek music to enjoy while you eat. If you're after a taste of local tradition, venture up to the old village in Pano Gouves.
Gouves, Crete (Heraklion Area)
For a Jurassic Park experience without the extreme terror, head to Dinosauria. Kids of all ages will love the realistic sound effects, motion sensors and more than 50 life-size dinosaurs. It's educational too as you can dig up some bones, see a dinosaur hatch at the hospital and watch themed films in 5D and 7D.
