Gouves Beach

Warm ocean breeze, grainy yellow sand and the sun gently caressing your skin. The ideal break from university without breaking the bank too much (maybe a slight crack)

Flight and all inclusive 3* hotel was only £324pp. If that isn't the highlight of a Greek holiday, we also have access to hotel transport for the nearby beach.

Definitely a holiday to consider. The sand feels warm between your toes and the area has such a chilled and laidback atmosphere.
The waves were the perfect size, not ideal for surfing, but fun to catch yourself in on a bright sunny day.

Greece, baby!

Feel the warm ocean breeze gliding across your skin. The grainy yellow sand tickling between your toes. The welcoming warmth of the holiday sun kissing your cheeks.

Greece has it all, from hospitable locals to bars that feature a  Mediterranean feel that promise a good time. Somewhere you can leave behind the worries of home , work and university.

Upon landing at Herakion airport 1am in the morning on Sunday, I suddenly felt as if I'd just landed in the Philippines. It was clammy and I had dry sticky
skin from the flight. Not a very good first impression. We were so unimpressed by a certain holiday agent (I won't name names, *cough* Jet 2 *cough*) that we had to pay £45 to admit one luggage. So we had to transfer all our "illegal" items to that one luggage and everything admitted as hand carry. -.-

Our transport to the hotel was fairly short but the driver was welcoming. Entering the hotel, Costas, a staff member, was the first to greet us with whole-hearted sincerity. The staff were all very happy, essential in keeping up the spirits of their guests.

For a last-minute holiday booked literally one week before the flight, we had a great hotel room with Garden view!
What a catch!
