It was first permanently inhabited during the Early Minoan II periods and was occupied until the Late Minoan I period. Gournia is in a 6-mile cluster of with other Minoan archeological sites which includes Pachyammos, Vasiliki, Monasteraki, Vraika and Kavusi.

Around 3km long beach with black sand and pebbles.
3000-year-old water tank, but ultimately it's just around 5x5m square-shaped hole in the rock.
It is a disused building, with hardly any maintenance. But at least the surroundings are pretty picturesque.
A tiny chapel at the top of the rock, accessible by some 200 steps. The view from the top contains the village and surrounding mountains, looking away from the sea.
