Folk Museum Complex, Gavalochori

In the village of Gavalochori, within the Apokoronos municipality of Chania, a cluster of interconnected buildings dating to 1628 preserves the texture of traditional Cretan life. The complex brings together a folk museum, an olive oil mill, and a traditional residence, allowing visitors to move between the spaces of domestic work and agricultural production as they once functioned together. Walking through these connected rooms offers an immersive view of how a Cretan household and its olive harvest were woven into daily routines across the centuries.
