Lonely Planet review for Folklore Museum
The village of Gavalohori, 25km southeast of Hania, makes a pleasant stop. The main attraction is the Folklore Museum, which is located in a renovated building that was constructed during Venetian rule and then extended by the Turks. The exhibits are well labelled in English and include examples of pottery, weaving, woodcarving, stonecutting and other Cretan crafts, including the fine kapaneli - intricately worked silk lace. A historical section documents Cretan struggles for independence.
