The BLUE monkey
About
Found on Crete, The BLUE monkey sits at Gouves 700 14, Greece, on the island's northern coast.
Gouves lies east of Heraklion, so the shop is reachable by road from the island's main towns along the northern route. Its position in Gouves places it in the coastal resort area rather than inland. It operates as a gift shop, with a rating of 5 out of 5 from 6 reviews.
The website https://www.grecotel.com/amirandes/fine-dining/blue-monkey-asian-restaurant/ carries further information about the business. The setting is within the built-up resort strip of Gouves, close to the coast road.
Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Venetian remains are found across the islands, from Delos to the old town of Rhodes, which makes the area around the main towns worth exploring. Horiatiki salad, grilled octopus and thyme honey from island hills are common on menus, so meals along the coast follow familiar patterns. The Greek islands have a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, wetter winters. Orthodox Easter is the biggest religious festival, and village panigyria mark saints' days through the summer.
