Gavalomouri is a pretty Cretan village, a peaceful and tranquil place, where you will find a local village church, kafeneon and taverna. 

Gavalomouri is just a few minutes drive from the pretty tree lined beach of Tavronitis, and the nearby village of Vokoulies has all the amenities needed for day to day living including a bank, shops, supermarket and police station.

The historic village of Maleme is just a short drive away, as are the popular tourist resorts of Platanias and Agia Marina. 

In nearby Kolymbari, a pretty fishing harbour, there are many tavernas, a weekly market, shops, supermarket, bakery, post office and bank.

Gavalomouri is located around 25 km west of the Venetian town of Chania and 25km east of the historic town of Kissamos-Kastelli.

It is an ideal place for peace and relaxation, surrounded by olive trees and orange trees, and magnificent views of the Lefka Ori - or White Mountains - which are snow capped during winter.

Perfect for both permanent living and an ideal base for a holiday home from where you can venture further west to find the idyllic beaches of Falassarna and Elafonisi, monastries and gorges, plus the island of Gramvousa with its remains of a fortress and the beautiful sands of Balos.
