Further comments about the area:
The villa is located on a hillside in the village of Gavalochori in West Crete. Gavalohori is a traditional Cretan village situated in the Apokoron region about 3km inland from the coastal village of Almirida. Its location is 25 km east of Chania which takes about 20 minutes drive along the National Road. Gavalochori is an old historical village with approximately 500 residents which has retained its color and way of life. Several family run tavernas offer the visitor tasty dishes of Cretan cuisine. Near the small village square and within walking distance from the villa there is a coffee shop, a bakery, a mini mart, two tavernas and the Folk Art Museum. The surrounding area has several beautiful nature paths for walking or biking which lead either towards the sea or towards the White mountains. The coastal village of Almirida is less than 10 minutes driving distance. In Almirida you may find all basic facilities, such as a supermarket, pharmacy, post office, bakery, ATM, gas station and taxi service. It has a wonderful sandy beach with crystal clear water and a shallow section particularly suitable for small kids. This Blue Flag rated beach is organized with sun beds and umbrellas and sea sports services. There are several sea side tavernas and bars offering exquisite sea food and night entertainment. The large town of Chania of course offers the visitor a wider range of choices for shopping, dining and night life mostly centered around the old Venetian port. Some interesting monuments in Chania town are the covered Municipal Market, the Venetian fortifications, the Lighthouse, the Fortress of Firkas, the Mosque of Giali Tzamisi, the Arsenals, and the Othrodox Cathedral.

Summary: We had a fantastic stay at Villa Aphrodite. The check-in process was seamless thanks to a lockbox with the key inside — super easy after a long travel day. When we arrived, we were greeted with a spacious, spotless home, beautiful views, and thoughtful welcome touches like fresh fruit and drinks, which we really appreciated.The villa was exactly as described (if not better) — comfortable, clean, and clearly well-maintained. The bedrooms were cozy, and the kitchen had everything we needed, including the kinds of little extras that are often overlooked. We especially enjoyed breakfast on the patio each morning — the view was picturesque, and the space was very peaceful.The pool area was a highlight for us. While not heated, it was perfectly comfortable for swimming in early June. There were padded sunbeds and even some pool toys left for us, which made it easy to relax and have fun.The village of Gavalochori is charming and quiet, with a few solid restaurants, a mini market, bakery, and more — all just a short (if steep) walk down the hill.The daily cleaning service was excellent, and the Wi-Fi worked perfectly throughout our stay.Overall, our favorite part was just spending time together in the pool. We felt very well taken care of and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Villa Aphrodite to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in Crete.
