Gavalochori er en gammel historisk landsby med omtrent 500 innbyggere som har beholdt sin farge og livsstil. Flere familiedrevne tavernaer tilbyr besøkende smakfulle retter fra kretisk mat. I nærheten av det lille landsbytorget og innen gangavstand fra villaen er det en kaffebar, et bakeri, en minimart, to tavernaer og Folkekunstmuseet.

Fantastisch huis, met alles erop en eraan. Natuurlijk zie je dat er continue van het huis gebruik gemaakt wordt. Nogmaals heerlijke week met ons gezin gehad.
Familie Nooij
The villa was bigger than expected with a great location near the small village with good restaurants. Also, great beaches nearby, within 7-20min we could choose between several nice beaches.We can really recommend this to others!
Excellent well equipped large villa with superb pool.The steps down to the pool would make it challenging for smaller children and it could do with some black out blinds in the bedrooms but overall rating is excellent,
Spacious comfortable villa with a real ‘wow factor’. Ideal location close to village with great amenities. Mrs Froso the property manager was helpful and communicative. We did think the villa needed a bit of work as it was showing its age (difficult door locks, shower fittings, scuffed paint)
great week at the villa for our family and friends.
near to the lovely village of Gavalochori with great restaurants, gift shops and mini supermarkets.
will hopefully get the opportunity to return next year.
highly recommend .
Incredible week in a beautiful home with all amenities needed. The home is beautiful, the pool is large and the space around it really enjoyable. The person who welcomed us is really nice and took care of the home regularly during the week.
The home is situated in one of the nicest village around with good restaurants and nice little shops.
To be perfect beds and suns beds could upgrade - but nothing to be disappointed about.
Even though our weather was untypically grey and a bit chilly, Mrs Froso provided us with warm blankets and we still had a great time. The taverna down the hill (5 min walk) was absolutely lovely, food and service both great. Almyrida restaurants and ice cream parlour also worth a visit!
Enjoyed seeing kingfishers and terrapins at Lake Kournas too...about a half hour drive away. Crete itself was lovely and everyone we encountered was very warm & welcoming.

Buena, se ajustan las fotos a la realidad, la piscina impresionante
Sugerimos corregir algunos detalles, poca luz en los baños de las habitaciones, falta de espejos y enchufes en los baños pequeños,
Great location to use as a home base to explore this region of Crete. We had an amazing time. Galvalahori is a perfect home base. The village amenities are welcoming and it’s isn’t touristy at all. Great meals, coffee and grocery stores. It’s storybook charming! Don’t miss the museum. The villa has an awesome view and really nice pool. The only negative for us was that the kids space was quite small for our 6 kids. Only one shower for them to share and two had to sleep on cots. Overall lovely place, great hostess and unforgettable holiday!
Enjoyed staying here during our holiday in Crete. House is very spacious allowing privacy especially for mixed family groups such as ours. Besides driving down to the local beaches, we loved walking the village and especially the local taverns, shops and bakery. Pool is very lovely (though inner pool has some sharp edges that are not kid friendly). Owner and housekeeper were very responsive to our needs. Some minor updates / upgrades (more kitchen equipment, shower curtains in bathrooms, blinds) would further enhance guest experience. Overall we really enjoyed our time in Crete and at the villa
We loved our 6 day stay at Athina Apokoron. The open plan area was very clean and comfortable. The swimming pool worked well for the 7 year old children that were not strong swimmers. The steps down to the pool might not be easy to manage for those with toddlers/small children. The bedrooms were clean and spacious with decent storage for unpacking. The bathrooms were clean, plumbing and hot water all worked well. No shower curtains on the bigger bath tub made it difficult to shower without making the floor wet and slippery, still it was manageable. The kids loved taking baths with the jets going. We were in a perfect location, so close to the beautiful Almyrida Beach, which is where we spent most mornings. We did hire a car for the duration of our stay but it was not essential as Almyrida Taxi service was very good. So many delicious food, drinks and ice cream options between Gavalohori and Almyrida. Thanks again to Christos for being a wonderful host. We hope to be back soon!
The villa is superb and the pool is sublime! It met all our expectations and Mrs Froso was lovely and very helpful. There is so much space and storage and the kitchen is extreme well stocked. The BBQ is effortless and everything was spot on. There is only one very small criticism and its not really a problem but we would have preferred proper showers and not the baths or maybe shower curtains but I see with children, a bath would be a must. Overall it was great and perfect location especially with a car. I will definitely recommend this place to others!
What a wonderfully serene setting for our family. Villa Athina met all of our expectations. Gavalohori is a lively and quiet village. Thank you Christos!
We had a great two weeks stay here. The house is lovely and the views amazing. Plenty of room inside (we were two families, 9 people, had 3 children in one bedroom). Lovely pool. A/c in all the rooms (which we needed in August). Housekeeper lives very locally and came everyday for a quick sweep and empty the bins. The house is in a little development of about 5 identical villas all in a row. We were slightly worried by this pre-holiday, but actually nothing to worry about - at no point did we hear any neighbours.
The village is lovely - two great tavernas walking distance, plus 2 mini-mini-markets and an old-man's-backgammon cafe and an upmarket gift shop. We frequented each taverna 3 times, and it felt that people were driving from other villages in order to come to them.
There is a lot of driving on windy small roads in Crete. The beach at Almyrida is less than 10 mins drive with many bars / cafes / restaurants. We wished we had booked watersports in advance as boats etc got booked up quickly. The little taverna and rocky cove (snorkelling) at Omprogialos was a highlight for us.
Would recommend this villa / Gavalochori / Crete for anyone looking for an interesting villa holiday.
La maison est juste splendide, la piscine est bien plus grande en vraie que sur les photos. La maison est propre et est adapté pour des amis/famille. La communication avec le gérant est très facile.
We absolutely loved our two-week stay in Villa Athina. We spent the first week as a family of four (including two teens) and were then joined by two other family members.
Communication with the property owner, Christos was excellent from start to finish. He reassured our concerns regarding last minute free cancellations due to Covid restrictions and even arranged the housekeeper to get me crutches when I sprained my foot. He answered endless questions that I had before reaching the property and was incredibly helpful.
The picture of the property do not do it justice. It is huge and we loved our stay. The housekeeper, Mrs Froso was brilliant and even though she will come and clean every day, we just asked her to come two days a week which was ample. Everything was provided - loo roll, soaps, hairdryers, towels, pool towels, floats for the pool. When a toaster broke, it was replaced almost immediately with a brand new one.
We did not hire a car as we knew that the furthest we were going to venture was the beach town, Almyredia. The great guys from Almyredia Taxis charge €10 each way and €15 for a minibus. There were some fantastic beaches and loads of good restaurants down in Almyredia.
The town of Gavalochori where the villa is based is absolutely enchanting. It is around five minutes’ walk from the restaurant and has three mini markets, a baker and two superb restaurants. You really feel emmersed in village life In Gavalochori and Monica at Monica’s Tavern and Anastasia at Arasmari could not make you feel more welcome. The food at both restaurants is very affordable and cooked to perfection.
The villa bedrooms were large and all had balconies. The outside eating area was a beautiful place from which to watch the sunsets and the kitchen was well-equipped even including a sandwich maker and a blender.
We loved our stay at Villa Athina and would definitely return as it ticked so many boxes.
Thank you Christos and Mrs Froso!
A wonderful two week stay with family and friends at villa Athina 1st - 15th August 2020
From booking the holiday to the day we departed the service has been fabulous - the villa is stunning with amazing views and great facilities including one of the biggest pools we have ever had when hiring a villa
The village is lovely and the people can’t do enough to welcome you - we will absolutely be returning
We would highly recommend the Apokoron villas they are well appointed and private providing us with the perfect location for a superb summer retreat
Mrs A Mitchell, family and friends
Everything went well ! No issues what so ever! Enjoyed it very much!! Only complaint too much walking & steps for old people! Lol

Perfect family spot
We loved the village. The people were so welcoming and the beauty overwhelming. The house owners were very helpful. We did not want to leave. You can take lovely walks from the village and there is a wonderful taverna in the square that serves the best Cretan food.

Our Crete Holiday in Gavalochori
Lovely villa spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Just up a very steep hill, known locally as cardic hill from a lovely greek village, we had many evening meals in the village and all freshly cooked and delicious. The swimming pool meet all our needs and was well used by the family that also was spotlessly clean. Being on the edge of the village you felt you were part of it especially when being awoken by the local cockerals. Our cretean holiday was a great success and would certainly return to this lovely villa

Wonderful in every way
I can't recommend this villa or its owner, Christos, highly enough. Everything about it was as good or even better than expected, and between Christos in the run-up to our holiday (who responded to multiple emails speedily and helpfully) and the wonderful housekeeper Froso during it (who did countless things to make our stay as easy as possible, including finding a birthday cake!), we couldn't have asked for more. The location is perfect - a few miles away from the busy coast but within walking distance of a couple of small shops and two or three fantastic restaurants. The villa itself is spectacular and so cleverly designed - you would hardly know it was in the middle of a line of four similar properties. There was ample space for our party of eight both inside the villa and also in and around the pool, where many of our group spent most of their time. If you're thinking of hiring this villa then just go ahead and book it - you won't regret it. We had a wonderful break and look forward to hopefully returning one day. Thank you Christos and Froso!

beautiful villa, large, lots of space, close to nice village
Great place and excellent value for money!
We used the villa with 4 adults and 5 kids and really appreciated having lots of space.
It is well-equipped (fire wood, washing machine, dryer, no need to by toilet paper or detergent, etc) but starts to wear off a bit around the edges (a toilet door did not close well, corkscrew broken) - we did not mind and did not even ask to fix anything. I am sure the owner and lovely housekeeper would have helped because they were very responsive to any needs.
The pool is very large and beautiful. Water was already a bit cold in end-October, we did not stay in much longer than a couple of minutes - but friends had the same experience in other villas. The Mediterranean was actually a bit warmer.
The villa has a very nice view and is a 5-minute walk from small, charming Gavalochori, where you can find several shops and Tavernas with great food. Several nice beaches (Kera!) some 20 minutes by car.

relaxing holidays
we had very relaxing holidays with the great pool in our house and also a fantastic view. Enjoing the sunset we sit in our garden area and had a very good time in gavalochori. Also the little village of gavalochori was very nice and we love it.
