Rethimno (Rethymnon)

TransferPlan will transfer you from and to Rethimno as quickly, safely and comfortably as possible. Rethymno is located in the north end of the prefecture and in the middle of Crete, built by the sea and is a city with many faces. It combines the conveniences of a large city with the beauty of an old town. Both elements will mesmerize you.

Every visitor's first stop in the city should be Lotzia, a very well-preserved Venetian building from the 16th century that houses the public library and can be found in the old town. Lotzia is a place of great historical interest, as it used to be a forum for noblemen and other prominent figures, where they would congregate in order to discuss matters of public affairs and commerce. Another sight of great interest is the Fortezza in Paleokastro hill. The fortress dates back to the Venetian occupation and visitors are admitted through the central entrance, into an arcade that leads to the interior of the castle.

Despite being the third largest city in the island, Rethymno maintains a unique character that transports visitors back in time. With well-preserved features that date back to the times of the Ottoman Empire and Venetian occupation. Rethymno is very charming and has a very relaxed 'small town' feel, wrapped in the hot Mediterranean sun, it maintains a unique oriental atmosphere similar to the port cities of Maghreb and Anatolia. The city combines Orthodox and Catholic churches, mosques, Venetian mansions, arches and cobble streets, making it one of the most well preserved medieval cities in Greece. The harmony and beauty of Rethymno will evoke feelings of awe and will excite even the most demanding visitors. Definitely a 'no miss' from any traveller's itinerary. The feeling you get from this lovely town will be something memorable. You will travel through time and you will enjoy Crete at its best.

Gouves

TransferPlan will transfer you from and to Gouves as quickly, safely and comfortably as possible. Gouves is located 18 km east of Heraklion city, close to Gournes, consisted of a large area which is separated into two villages. The seaside village is called Kato Gouves and the old village next to the mountain Ederi is called Ano Gouves. The name Gouves is mostly referring to the seaside village.

Gouves is a residential area which is neither a village nor a town, mostly developed because of tourism. It has a main road that starts from the highway and ends to the coast of the seaside village. This place is full of hotels, apartments and rooms to let. Gouves offers peaceful holidays, ideal for families with children. Here you will find mostly families that enjoy the lovely sandy beaches, close to all necessary amenities. The beach of Gouves is very well organized with umbrellas, sunbeds, water sports, showers and changing rooms. The sea has fine sand and shallow water but is open to the frequent north winds, that’s why it is wavy. Therefore, there are several small piers and small marinas nearby, where you can swim, protected by the waves. The road of Gouves runs along the coast, which is full of beach bars, coffee shops and restaurants. In the evening you can walk along this road and enjoy the sunset. A place worth visiting is the church of St. Constantine, which is built within a small pine forest, just next to the sea. It is situated in a very scenic seascape and this is why hundreds of couples from Heraklion choose to get married here. Further north, you can visit the Cave of Agia Paraskevi, located near the village of Skotino.

The resort of Gouves in Crete is the perfect choice for family holidays. With some lovely beaches and great places to eat. Gouves is close to the airport and the capital city with its modern shops.
