Gournes is located just fifteen kilometres of Heraklion at the east side of the old highway crossline road. This resort area has the privelege of the easily reach of other more magnificent places of the eastern side as well as the western side of Crete. Actually is not so well developed location but it's full of budget studios-apartments and hotels to accomondate you, in other words is a tourist summer resort near of the capital town. In Gouves there are a few taverns but if you looking for nightbars,shopping stores, are in a short distance.
What is really worth to visit in Gournes is the Creta-aquarium museum which is open 365 days a year and it's located in the bound of the former American Base.
