Walking distance of village taverna and shop

Abelouzos is a pretty village on the edge of the archaeological site at Gortyna, the Roman capital of Crete. A new museum, a short drive away, will be completed shortly. In the village there is a traditional taverna and a small shop which opens in the evenings. The popular market town of Mires, with supermarkets and a health centre, is a short drive along the main road.  Plans for the opening of the new highway will decrease the travel time to Heraklion and the airport, which at present is a 50 minute drive away. Some of the beautiful beaches in the area including Matala, Kalimaki and Kokkinos Pirgos are 30 minutes away. Zaros with a beautiful lake, tavernas and walks is 20 minutes away.
