About
Beach resort on the north coast east of Heraklion.
Kato Gouves stretches along the coast between Gournes and Hersonissos, with long beaches, hotels and tavernas. The Cretaquarium in Gournes is close by.
Around Hersonissos
Heraklion is the heart of Minoan Crete and the island’s busiest region. Knossos and the Heraklion Archaeological Museum are the two places almost everyone visits, and they work well together on one day. In the south, the wide Messara plain holds the palace of Phaistos, the Roman ruins of Gortyna and the famous caves above the bay of Matala. More about Heraklion
