We have just returned from a 2 week break, this was our first time at this resort and we were very happy with our stay. The apartments are a good size and extremely clean and the bathrooms are very good for Greek accommodation! The pool area is always clean and has comfortable sunbeds available if you prefer the beach it... More

Spent 11 nights here from 21st September. The one bed apartment was spacious, comfortable and clean with plenty of hot water and a decent shower. The setting of the complex is very pituresque with pretty shrubs, flowers and trees.The pool was a decent size with an ample amount of sunbeds, although the menu at the pool bar was limited. A...

We have just come back from a 2 weeks holiday in Gouves. The apartments are very clean and all the staff are helpful. Very basic but excellent. Bed linen changed twice a week, and rooms cleaned most days. The pool area is very nice and no fighting for sun beds, plenty available. Very sleepy, quiet part of Crete, great for... More

This was my 4th stay at the Ourania in the last 12 years and it remains my favorite place. Great location if you want to explore the island of if you want to be a bit lazy it is a great place to stay and soak up the sun, or in my case hide in the shade. The rooms are... More

I went with my partner and 2 grown up children and we shared a two bedroom apartment away from the pool and bar area. The apartment was clean, basic and the bedrooms were a good size with a table and chairs on the patio outside. The self-catering facilities are pretty basic with two rings but adequate for simple meals. The... More

We recently returned from a great week staying at the Ourania apartments in Gouves. The one bedroom apartment was very clean, the bed linen was exceptionally well laundered and the towels were lovely and fluffy. The apartment was well equipped and the bathroom was great - not like some we have experienced in Greece. The pool and bar area were... More

What a little gem of a place! We have holidayed on most of the Greek Islands and these apartments are by far the best, well equiped, spotless clean and the bathroom was not l the typical bathroom you normally get in Greece, it had a proper shower and no funny smells! We had a two bedroom and it was huge!... More

So said my hard to impress twin 15 year old sons. They liked to hang out by the pool and run up my cafe bill, while the rest of the family headed for the the hills (or the beach, or the town, or the history, or any other of the easily accessible benefits of a Cretan holiday). This was the... More

Our fourth trip to Crete but first time in Kato Gouves/Ourania and I would say how pleased we have been with our holiday. A great welcome from staff and the one bedroom apartment was spotlessly clean, reasonably equipped and spacious. Air con is in the bedroom and is an extra (around £37.00 for the week) however it does not circulate... More
