Welcoming base in Gouves

The Aelius Hotel and Spa makes the perfect place for a chilled out Greek getaway. It’s in Kato Gouves, and there’s a beautiful beach within a 15-minute stroll, or a quick ride on the hotel’s free shuttle bus. And if you want to head into Heraklion for dinner, drinks, or a bit of sightseeing, it’s less than 20 minutes away by taxi.

At the hotel itself you’ll find three pools, including one exclusively for Sensus guests and one indoor number, edged by a roomy sun terrace and plenty of loungers – the ideal place to spend the day chilling out. There’s a poolside bar, too, so you needn’t move far from your lounger for drinks and snacks. The main restaurant, meanwhile, takes care of breakfast, lunch and dinner and serves a buffet of Greek and international dishes.
