The village of Goudouras in Crete

Goudouras is a village in the southeast of the island of Crete. It is a farming community / vegetable store situated on a fertile plain directly at the sea, with lots of greenhouses and a couple of farms and houses. Behind the village there are the mountains and the area becomes quite deserted. In Goudouras the road turns north towards Agia Triada, Ziros and the beaches of Xerokampos and Kato Zakrod. Goudouras has a couple of beaches in and near the village. These beaches have no facilities like umbrellas and sunbeds, and they are not so sheltered or private because of the proximity of the farms. In a large picturesque bay nearby lies the sand beach of Asprolithos, where there can be quite some wind from time to time.
