There are also remains of an ancient Minoan ceramics workshop which is worth seeing, as well as the Christian remains, like the Church of Zoodochos Pigi, patron of the village, the Eileithyia caves.
Within a short distance are picturesque villages and sights, such as the monastery of Saint John “Theologos”, the Skotino cave and Eileithyia cave. The most important archeological sites of the area are the Minoan villas of Kokkíni Háni and Amnísos.
The access from Heraklion to Gouves is very easy due to regular and frequent bus itineraries, taxies or rented cars and motorcycles.
