Location: Many people who know the island of Crete associate Heraklion province with the capital town, which is like a lot of Mediterranean cities, built up and crowded.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Just a short journey from the centre of the town you will find beautiful coastal resorts and inland traditional villages.  This gives the best of both worlds.  The convenience of the main airport, being only a short drive away, plus the many conveniences of a major city, which include hypermarkets, outdoor market and cosmopolitan shopping.  There is a wonderful open-air theatre in Heraklion that offers a full program of cultural shows from around the world.  Tickets are subsidised by the local art council.  Where else could you see a Russian ballet for as little as 15 € (£10).  This particular property is situated in the Gouves resort area in a small and popular vibrant traditional Cretan village with all amenities that is situated 1km from the resort of Gouves and the sandy beach. Approximately 30 min drive east from Heraklion and airport.  The village has tavernas, café neons and supermarket.  Short drive to the new 18 hole International P.G.A. golf course.
