Gavalohori is a working rural village, still retaining its unique personality.
Explore the old mill workings, ancient wells, tumbled down houses. Three Roman tombs are hidden away in a field by the windy road up to Vamos. Imagine the view as it was, probably not changed too much in 2000 years.
The local Women’s Co-operative are actively reviving traditional handicrafts, examples of which can be bought in their shop in the village square, which doubles as a street cafe. The village centre has three good tavernas, shops, bakery, souvlaki bar and patisserie. Sometimes live music on Summer evenings
The safe sandy beach & tavernas of Almirida are 5 minutes' drive. Windsurfers, catamarans & kayaks can be hired by the hour from a French sailing school. The beach is sandy and shelves gently, making it ideal for small children Many more beaches, the White Mountains and the Samaria gorge are all in easy reach.
