Location

The olive mill is, within walking distance to the local coffee shop (kafenio), mini-market and taverns, and with gorgeous views of the lush green valley and the village of Gavalochori.

The village is a peaceful, small, traditional hamlet well-hidden from the massive, mainstream tourism. Here there are some fine examples of traditional architecture in new or renovated buildings; the traditional character of the area has put the village under architectural control and preservation. It is located 25km east of Chania, and 35km west of Rethymno. It is the ideal place to relax, and enjoy the nature while staying with your partner or family. From here you can make everyday excursions to the sandy beaches of Almirida and Kalives (3-4km), or walk in the nature, under the blue sky and the hot sun. Here begins a very nice footpath which in old times connected the village with Gavalochori, which passes through a small gorge, a forest, and the spectacular chapel of Agios Gianis (St. John), build inside a cave. The village is on an altitude of 100m above sea level, with 40 houses in total, population 200 people.

There are two taverns serving excellent food found in the village or go to the nearby village of Vamos (2km) where one find more taverns and coffee shops. If you want to go out during the night for a drink you should try Almirida, Kalives or the Chania old Town (about half an hour by car).

Chania - Apokoronas - VAMOS

Chania - Apokoronas - VAMOS
The municipality of Vamos, the capital town of which bears the same name (communities of Vamos and Douliana), consists of the former districts of Gavalohori (Gavalohori, Agios Pavlos, Koprana, Agios Vasilios), Plaka (Plaka, Almirida, Kabia), Kokino Horio, Kaina, Kefala (Kefalas, Paleloni, Drapanos), Xerosternio (Xerosterni, Litsarda), Selia (Selia, Souri, Likotinara), Kalamitsi Alexandrou. It is a semi-mountainous area with interesting natural surroundings, dominated by local woody (oak, holm-oak, cypress, wild almond, carob, laurel and pear trees) or bushy (hairy thorny brooms, cretan sage, herbs etc.) flora and architectural heritage. Small villages, most of which are old, are spread throughout the area, which is characterised by a lack of water and limited agricultural productivity. While this lack of resources resulted in a severe reduction of the population it did not have any effect on the architectural character or the natural surroundings of the region until recently. This is the main reason why a lot of foreigners buy old houses or land and settle here. The biggest part of the steep, rocky coastline has preserved its natural wild beauty and is proposed to become a protected area under the Natura 2000 Environmental Management Program.
