Gournes Holidays

T&Cs apply

Village life at its most peaceful

Finding calm isn’t always easy on Crete, but it comes as standard in this serene coastal village on the north coast. Thanks to its small size and a location nestled between bigger towns and resorts, Gournes holidays are a paradise for those seeking a little tranquility. Another bonus of its compact size is that you won’t struggle to find a sunbathing spot on the sandy beach, and Gournes’s relaxed vibe continues as you explore its laid-back clutch of cafés and restaurants.

While nightlife on holidays to Gournes is more about enjoying a quiet nightcap than taking in a thumping club scene, the ever-lively city of Heraklion is just a 20-minute drive away – you can even take a bus there. Best of all, you can retreat back to your peaceful paradise afterwards and appreciate Gournes’s quiet charms all over again the next day.
