The climate of Gouves on the island of Crete (Greece)
Gouves is a small coastal town on the north side of
Crete located on the Mediterranean Sea. Gouves is situated in between the
popular seaside resorts of Heraklion and Chersonissos. Gouves is known
for the many archaeological finds from the Minoan period. Many of
these sites can be freely visited. Because Gouves is situated in the
vicinity of Chersonissos it is an ideal destination for those who want
to party at night but don’t want to be among the many tourists during
the day and want to enjoy some of the authentic Greek culture. Just as
other places on Crete Gouves has a Mediterranean climate with warm and
dry summers and mild and wet winters. The coldest months during the
winter are the only period during the year in which the climate is
unpleasant in Gouves. During the rest of the year temperatures are
pleasant, especially when the sun shines.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
