Gouves is an interesting town, how not to twist. Many people call him provincial, maybe it is, but the benefits of civilization, sometimes it is so annoying that you want to escape from them as far as possible. That's just such a quiet and cozy place, is the city of Gouves, that in the Greek Island Crete. This city is developed versatile and only one thing, causes genuine admiration. Many cities of this type, exist solely at the expense of tourists, and this is not. The city has research centers that do not stand still and all new discoveries are performed in their walls. Local residents can not be called lazy, because rich vineyards, olive groves and fruit gardens spread out around the city. So, if you were in this city and want to know it better, I will gladly tell you about the most interesting places that you can visit.
Island Dia . It is located near the island of Crete. The main feature of this island is that he is completely uninhabited. The area, such a uninhabited miracle, is twelve square kilometers. The island is under guard and is a natural reserve, since the rarest representatives of fauna and flora live on its territory. Back in ancient times, this island played an important role in navigating courts, which came to the port cities of Crete Island. Also this island, the sailors with confidence could declare that Crete is completely close. Jacques-Yves Kusto, together with his team, in 1975, discovered the details of ancient structures near the island, which may well be the remnants of the ancient city of the port, which may existed on this island. To date, this island is of great interest among tourists.
Guise Beach . You will not be able to go through the beach, but I'll write about it a couple of lines. City Beach, marked with a blue European flag. On the beach there is everything you need for a comfortable stay - umbrellas, lounge chairs, and so on. In water rides, there is no deficiency and you can always diversify passive rest, riding on banana or water skiing. I want to note that the beach area is fully open and if windy weather is observed on the street, it is better not to go to the beach as in the coastal zone, the waves will strongly.
Embankment Gouves . This place is a favorite place for walking. The embankment passes along the entire beach area of this city. On this street, a violent trade is always coming, since there is a huge number of shops, shops, shopping shops, cafes, bars, restaurants and other pleasures. Walking along the embankment, it is not necessary to make purchases at all, because sometimes it is much more pleasant, just go and consider beautiful and elegant showcases with signs.
Former US airbase . Yes, it was here that from 1954 to 1993, by the sea, the military base of the United States of America was located on the seashore. Now this place is little reminded that even recently it was an important strategic object. Where earlier, there was a base, now the weed grows up, and the buildings themselves were looted even until the first weed made his way through the Earth. But, by non-report, you will see a Cretan aquarium that is necessary to visit more positive emotions.
Olive groves . It is quite difficult to imagine any Greek island without olive groves, so this resort does not lag behind their national fellow. Beautiful seascape, olive trees, white houses and narrow streets - which is what Gouves he, if you describe it in a nutshell.
Mount Eder . Proud name Mountain, this hill received for reasons unclear for me. Well, okay, let him be a mountain. The height of this elevation is four hundred meters above sea level. Many distinguish it because of its slopes there is a popular resort of Kato Gouves, as well as from the top of this mountain there is a beautiful panorama for the whole island of Crete. In fact, all it is, but I would personally first allocate that. The thing is that in this rock there is an old chapel and writing that she is in a rock, I did not allow an error because it is completely cut down in the body of the mountain. An amazing construction, and I advise you to start the inspection of Mount Eder, it is from her.
Diving School Big Blue . So my story came up, to the final attraction of the city of Gouves. The diving school will be an excellent addition to the beach holiday. Immersion here is well suited for beginners. Beautiful underwater species, smooth bottom, motley marine inhabitants, what could be better? Here, you can order a boat or boat, rent all the necessary equipment and will go on a fascinating journey, knowing the sea beauty of coastal waters.
