Gouves

Gouves is a laid-back resort town on Crete’s northern coast, perfect for those seeking a relaxed beach holiday with a touch of authentic Greek charm. The long sandy shoreline is ideal for sunbathing, swimming, and family-friendly fun, with calm, shallow waters making it safe for children.

Along the seafront, you’ll find welcoming tavernas serving fresh seafood and traditional dishes, as well as a selection of bars and cafés where you can unwind while watching the sunset over the Aegean Sea.
