Further comments about the area:

The villa is located on a hillside in the village of Gavalochori in West Crete. Gavalochori is a traditional Cretan village situated in the Apokoron region about 3km inland from the coastal village of Almirida. Its location is 25 km east of Chania which takes about 20 minutes drive along the National Road. Gavalochori is an old historical village with approximately 500 residents which has retained its color and way of life. Several family run tavernas offer the visitor tasty dishes of Cretan cuisine. Near the small village square and within walking distance from the villa there is a coffee shop, a bakery, a mini mart, two tavernas and the Folk Art Museum. The surrounding area has several beautiful nature paths for walking or biking which lead either towards the sea or towards the White mountains. The coastal village of Almirida is less than 10 minutes driving distance. In Almirida you may find all basic facilities, such as a supermarket, pharmacy, post office, bakery, ATM, gas station and taxi service. It has a wonderful sandy beach with crystal clear water and a shallow section particularly suitable for small kids. This Blue Flag rated beach is organized with sun beds and umbrellas and sea sports services. There are several sea side tavernas and bars offering exquisite sea food and night entertainment. The large town of Chania of course offers the visitor a wider range of choices for shopping, dining and night life mostly centered around the old Venetian port. Some interesting monuments in Chania town are the covered Municipal Market, the Venetian fortifications, the Egyptian Lighthouse, the Synagogue, the Fortress of Firkas, the Mosque of Giali Tzamisi, the Arsenals, and the Othrodox Cathedral.

We’ve had an amazing stay at this Villa. The Villa was very clean, beds were comfy and the swimming pools and view were amazing. It was lovely to walk a short way down the hill and you’re in the gorgeous village, the food was amazing and the people so friendly. We have definitely fallen in love with Crete. Wanted to come back next May half term but it’s already booked so says it all. Thank you very much.

I think this has to be one of my favourite places I have ever stayed. The rental was beautiful and very spacious - had everything you needed and then some. The pools were perfect and the view - well, I could never get tired of that view. The town is delightful, and the restaurants and the bottom of the hill are fantastic - especially Gavalionas Kafenes!! So much history to see without even having to drive too far too. Thank you Mrs. Froso for being so kind and helpful, I hope you have a wonderful summer with lots of great renters. I really hope we can get back there soon - (One tip, when renting a car, go for a smaller car as the cool little roads in the small villages can be very narrow.)
