Gavalohori is one of the best-preserved traditional villages in western Crete.
It lies about 25-26 km east of Chania and only 3 km inland from the seaside village of Almyrida. 

If you're looking for an authentic Cretan village that hasn't lost its character, Gavalohori is often considered one of the finest examples.
The village is officially protected as a traditional settlement because so much of its historic architecture survives.
The village square has several traditional tavernas and cafés shaded by large trees. 
It's an ideal place for a leisurely lunch. 

There is a bakery and a mini market for everyday needs. 

The combination of living traditions, beautiful stone architecture, historical monuments, and warm local hospitality makes it one of the most rewarding inland villages to visit in western Crete.
