Gavalochori is located in the north of Apokoronas, in a valley formed between the hills of Vamos (south of the village) and the hills of Kefalas (to the east). Gavalochori is one of the most important traditional villages of Apokoronas with the first recorded reference to the village made in an 1182 decree issued by the Byzantine emperor Alexios Komnenos for the distribution of fiefs. Gavalochori maintained its importance and population during Ottoman rule (1646-1898), and during the revolution of 1821 Gavalochori became the seat of the "Cretan Council". In Gavalochori, visitors can see well-preserved examples of folk architecture, such as a two-aisled vaulted olive mill of the 18th century, the churches of Panagia (Virgin Mary) and Agios Sergios, the old school, and many old houses from the Venetian era. Also in Gavalochori, you can find the only Folklore Museum in the Prefecture of Chania. Just 4km away you can find the seaside resort village of Almyrida, for more amenities and amazing beaches.
