A cheerful Cretan all-rounder
Set in Gouves, Blue Aegean Hotel and Suites gives you a relaxed base on Crete’s north coast. The beach is close by, while local shops, bars and restaurants keep evenings easy. Heraklion, Knossos Palace and Crete Aquarium are all handy options when you fancy a day away from the pool.
Back at base, the hotel keeps the mood sunny and sociable. There’s a pool scene for slow afternoons, family-friendly spaces and a poolside pagoda offering massage and beauty treatments for a little extra unwind time. It’s a good fit if you want the freedom of a laid-back hotel with plenty nearby.
Breakfast is served buffet-style, and the on-site restaurant focuses on Greek and Mediterranean dishes made with local ingredients, olive oil, herbs, fruit and vegetables. The pool-view bar keeps drinks close by, while Gouves’ tavernas add more choice after dark. Beach close, food sorted, Crete ready to play.

Find out more about Gouves
If you can’t decide between a peaceful break or a livelier beach-based trip, you don’t need to – both are yours for the taking on Gouves holidays. On the north coast of Crete, you actually get two resorts for the price of one. There’s the relaxed yet buzzy village of Kato Gouves, and Pano Gouves, a traditional village just south of the beach.
