DANDELION Apartment by TELMARIE, Kato Gouves

DANDELION Apartment by TELMARIE is a practical base in Kato Gouves, Heraklion, Greece, suited to travellers who want space, privacy, and an easy rhythm between beach time and day trips. The apartments are set in the Kato Gouves area near the coast, and the neighbourhood feel is calm rather than urban. Guests consistently mention a comfortable, lived-in setup, and with a 9/10 guest rating from a small number of reviews, the overall impression is of a straightforward stay that meets expectations.

Inside, air conditioning helps you stay comfortable when the Cretan sun is at its strongest, and the terrace gives you a place to slow down after a day out. Family rooms and non-smoking accommodation are available, which can matter if you’re travelling with children or prefer a fresher indoor environment. For meals at your own pace, the apartment layout includes a kitchenette, so you can handle breakfast or simple dinners without always going out. When you want a change of scene, the BBQ facilities are a useful option for relaxed evenings.

From here, you can reach Kato Gouves Beach in about 1 km, making it simple to plan swims and sunbathing without long commutes. Cretaquarium and Gouves Aquarium are both around 2 km away, giving families and animal lovers a clear outing. If you’re interested in major history, Knossos Palace is roughly 10 km from the property, and it’s also an easy day trip from Heraklion.

Best for families, couples, and solo travellers who prefer a quiet coastal base with practical in-apartment flexibility and quick access to the area’s top attractions.
