Hara Ilios Village, Gouves, Crete, Greek Islands

Time-limited

Property details

Escape to the tranquillity of Kato Gouves on the island's North Coast, where traditional architecture meets all-inclusive bliss - includes welcome treat and more
  • Authentic Aegean spirit: Designed to mirror the layout of a classic Cretan village, Hara Ilios Village invites you to embrace slow island living. The bright, whitewashed buildings are set against the deep greens of the gardens, creating an atmosphere that's both intimate and open. It’s a place where local heritage is celebrated through warm hospitality and a laid-back rhythm, encouraging those who stay to fully disconnect.

  • Greek gastronomic delights: Your culinary journey begins each morning with a vibrant breakfast spread featuring local Greek yoghurt, golden honey, and traditional "spoon sweets." For lunch or dinner, take a seat at Avali, the poolside restaurant, where the menu celebrates the fresh flavours of the Aegean. Alternatively, retreat to the bar to enjoy a signature cocktail or a glass of award-winning wine from the hotel's own cellar.

  • Sun-drenched relaxation: Spend your afternoons drifting between the inviting guest rooms, refreshing waters of the large outdoor pool, and the comfort of a poolside lounger. Surrounding palm trees provide natural dappled shade, perfect for enjoying a quiet moment with a book. For those who prefer the salt air, the region’s beaches are within easy reach by car or on foot.

How to get there


The hotel is approximately 15 minutes by car from Heraklion International Airport (HER). Heraklion Port is roughly 20 minutes away. We’d recommend hiring a car in order to get the most out of the beautiful area.
