Vouves is a charming rural settlement on a gentle hill, surrounded by olive groves and Mediterranean vegetation. From here, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Cretan Sea and the green landscape of the Chania region. Vouves is best known for the oldest olive tree in the world – an impressive natural monument that is over 3,000 years old and still bears olives today. In the accompanying olive tree museum, visitors can learn a lot about the millennia-old culture of olive cultivation in Crete.

Just a few kilometres away, some of the region's most beautiful beaches invite you to relax and unwind. Tavronitis Beach (approx. 7 km), the quiet, family-friendly Kolymbari Beach (approx. 8 km) and the slightly livelier Maleme Beach (approx. 10 km) are all within easy reach by car. Here you will also find various taverns, cafés and beach bars.

Kolymbari itself, a picturesque coastal village at the gateway to the Rodopos peninsula, offers a successful blend of traditional atmosphere and modern infrastructure. Here you will find restaurants, cafés, banks, pharmacies and shops for your daily needs. The nearby village of Platanias (approx. 12 km) also has supermarkets, boutiques and a lively nightlife.

For lovers of Cretan cuisine, there are numerous excellent restaurants in the area, such as the Eftihis restaurant in Kolymbari, the Palio Arhontiko with traditional Cretan cuisine or the cosy Argentina restaurant in Tavronitis.
The region around Vouves is a paradise for active holidaymakers: numerous hiking and cycling trails lead through olive groves, rolling hills and traditional villages. Joggers will find ideal conditions along the coast or on the quiet country roads. Tours to the Rodopos peninsula or along the Tavronitis plain are particularly popular.

Typical culinary specialities of this area include world-famous olives and olive oils, local cheeses such as Graviera and Mizithra, fresh fish from the Cretan Sea and traditional dishes such as "Boureki" (a casserole made with courgettes, potatoes and cheese) and "Kalitsounia" (small pastries with sweet or savoury fillings).
