Cretan Animal Protection - Gouves

Caring for stray cats and dogs - Gouves, Crete, Greece - Welcome

Here are some pictures of the cats that we take care of in our area. "Asia" gave birth on our balcony and her little ones have grown quite quickly and are looking healthy and attractive. A little orphan, "Murka" (I call her "Spots"), has joined us from the Hotel next door, it has been accepted by "Asia" and the others and there is hope for it.

My girlfriend, Foteini, gives them Russian names and I give them English or Greek names, he, he. :-)

"Asia" the mother on the left and her two sons, "Umka"/"Socks" and "Panther".

Grecotel Amirandes Beach Resort

Luxury hotel in Crete, Grecotel Amirandes beach resort in Crete Greece

Here are some pictures I took of this impressive Hotel!

Need I say anything here...

As you can see, this place is different.

Architecture has been taken into account.

What a view!

Aesthetics are important.

I kid you not!

Doing the simple things with style.


Amirandes, Grecotel Exclusive Resort *****


Main Street, 711 10 Goúvai



Fragrant gardens lapped by azure waters and palm-fringed lagoons swirling past natural stone terraces are the hallmarks of this relaxing yet sophisticated beachfront resort that offers the highest standards of Mediterranean luxury.

Grecotel Amirandes occupies a gorgeous stretch of coast that gently curls into 2 coves of fine golden sand lapped by pristine waters. It is a perfect location, offering easy access to Heraklion International Airport and the world-famous archaeological site at the Palace of Knossos.

Back at the hotel, the Olympic size main seawater pool awaits in the garden, while a beach paradise, perfect for sunbathing or a relaxing stroll, is at your feet. For further indulgence, Elixir Spa is a sanctuary for the senses, with a fitness centre, sauna and a choice of therapies and treatments.



Here are some more pictures that I took of Amirandes, enjoy!




I consider these a highlight of this Hotel.

No you're not dreaming...

Up close and personal!


I don't know much about this Hotel, I just walk past it from time to time. But I think it's a special place and something worth looking into further. I hope you enjoyed these pictures, till next time then. Bye now! :-)
