Why We Prefer This Deal

A bundle of mythology, Hellenic culture and history are unveiled on this Mediterranean island, making Crete an iconic figure of Greek civilisation. Travellers may walk the footsteps of ancient Minoans by visiting the ruins of architectural landmarks such as Knossos Palace, Malia or Phaistos.

For an insight into the depth of the island’s sapphire waters, guests may arrange a scuba trip to one of the diving locations unveiling the diversity of the marine life. Ramblers may take to the coastal walking routes and gorge scrambles spread across this island or soak up the sun on Crete’s famous Stavros beach. Tourists may experience a blend of rich history and culture portrayed in traditional cuisine, and bars that buzz long into the night. Guests may also visit the Milatos Cave where a small chapel and an ossuary may be admired, while the Arkadi monastery reminds of the customs of former generations. The Greek island of Crete features a temperate Mediterranean climate with little variation in weather. Summer lasts from June to September and sees average highs in the mid-20s, peaking just below 30ºC in July and August. Nighttime temperatures are very high, but bearable due to the low levels of humidity. In October and November, autumn still sees great temperatures but is often wet and overcast, making this season suitable for travellers to explore the island rather than sunbathing on the beach.

Boasting a stylish design and unbeatable views, Gouves Bay makes for a great spot to celebrate the holiday and indulge in blissful relaxation. The hotel is set just outside Heraklion, within easy reach of numerous restaurants and coffee shops, as well as archeological wonders and historical landmarks.

Guests can catch some sun when lounging by the pool, engage in various sports activities or try out local excursions to pepper their holiday with some adventure. The coastline of Gouves tempt with several picture-perfect beaches.

Modern rooms are decorated in sleek, earthy tones and come with private bathrooms and balconies or patio access.

Local specialities can be savoured in the on-site restaurant, while the bar offers a range of refreshments.
