Our second stay

By Steve, Sam. Sandra, Ernie, Joe and Tom on 20-Aug-2024

Our second stay here and just as enjoyable. We all spent hours in the lovely large pool - plenty of room for the whole family . We did a trip over the mountains but didn't brave any gorge walks! Even managed Knosses , later in the day is best. make time to do both the site and museum though ( Tickets via Hellenic Heritage)

Rest and relaxation

By Debbie , Andy Will and Lucy on 01-Aug-2024

Regular visitors to Crete since 2014. but first visit to Gavalochori . Loved the villa and local village. Pool is fantastic and views beautiful . Came for rest and relaxation so did little travelling around, mainly enjoying the local beaches. Great food at local tavernas , however need to book at Arismari . Thank you Penny, perfect host

Wonderful week

Lovely Villa, pool and host

By Roland Juliette and Lydia C on 31-Aug-2023

TIPS Lovely villa, pool and host Stick to Kalives beach under the trees near Elena's Elena's taverna Gavalochori - Gavalianos and Arismari taverbas Aptera for archaeology We preferred Rethymno to Chania , less crowded and manageable Arkadi monastery and Margarites village Kalives cruises, boat trips Lake Kournas - good for families Did not even get to south of island
