Vamos

Situated on the peninsula of land between Chania and Rethymnon , with many of its traditional houses having been restored and renovated the village offers the opportunity to sample the real Crete.

The area around Vamos is a lush landscape a few kilometres from the coast. Very much a working village, many tourists nevertheless visit or stay in the village and in the surrounding villages of Gavalohori and Kalives. The village has a town hall, a large medical centre, high school and several restaurants, snack bars and shops, largely serving the local community.

This is an excellent location to enjoy nearby beaches and explore Chania, Rethymnon and many interesting villages all within an hour's drive.

Vamos is known as a traditional destination, where one can be immersed in the real authentic Crete, relax, and under no pressure, combine holiday entertainment and culural activities.

In short, the area offers stone and wood Cretan village cottages, natural honey and virgin olive oil, flagstone village paths and the beautiful local countryside where flowers bloom and the locals drink coffee or 'tsikoudia' at the village kafenion and tavernas, combined with the stunning beaches of the northern coast of Crete.
