Gournia is the site of a Minoan palace complex on the island of Crete, Greece, excavated in the early 20th century by the American archaeologist, Harriet Boyd-Hawes.

Gournia is the site of a Minoan palace complex, probably the most typical excavated example of a medium settlement size of the Minoan edge region (1700-1540 BC). It is located on a hill west of Pachia Ammos, near the road connecting Agios Nikolaos to Ierapetra. The palace – local lord’s home – is in the top of the hill. It was its center and most probably the settlement’s market. A series of steps in the southern side was its “theatre”, used for religious ceremonies.
