If you are looking for a peaceful area in which to relax far from the madding crowd, as well as a spotless apartment with all the amenities, I would highly recommend Athena's Gavalochori Airbnb. The apartments are sparkling clean, the village is quiet and nestled in amongst trees and greenery. Surrounding towns are worth visiting, as is Gavalochori itself. A small village but one with its own museum, several taverns/restaurants and a shop promoting local artisans filled with pottery and paintings. Athena's place is a two minute walk to the town center, grocery store, hair salon and restaurants. Absolutely delightful and would return without hesitation. Thank you, Athena, for a lovely stay while visiting Crete.
