Vamos holidays – an original choice
Vamos holidays are an interesting and original choice since this village is 4 miles inland from the coast. A Vamos holiday is based in a traditional Crete hill village that has made more effort than most to develop tourism in a way sympathetic to the environment and its past heritage. Vamos is a working village in the centre of the Apokoronou region of north-west Crete; an area of striking wild beauty. Woods, mountains, wild flowers, citrus plantations, olive groves and pretty villages are some of the ingredients of a holiday in Vamos.
Vamos – Well-preserved Crete hill village base
A holiday in Vamos is set in a large village with many old buildings and steep narrow roads, all well preserved with tastefully restored houses and public buildings. Vamos itself has a couple of good tavernas serving food and a good selection of local shops and facilities. A holiday in Vamos has fine long unspoilt beaches 4 miles away at Almirida and Kalives and Georgeopolis. You will also find stretches of completely unspoilt rugged protected coastline nearby. Vamos holidays appeal to those seeking a quiet holiday centre with traditional values and an excellent base for exploration of the many charming Crete villages in the area, with their quiet tavernas and sleepy cafes. This area with its rugged beauty, rolling fertile hills and fine views has become slowly popular with non-Greeks as an unspoilt place to live.
Holiday in Vamos – Country villages and nearby Chania Town
A holiday in Vamos is a great opportunity to explore true Crete villages; Venetian Karidi Kartsomado, the monastery at Katomeri, the important monastery of Agios Georgios and the lovely tiny village of Douliana set in beautiful hill scenery. For a change of scene during a Vamos holiday you could visit Chania Town with its Old Town; an interesting picturesque neighbourhood of narrow paved lanes, flower-decked houses, tastefully renovated buildings, attractive gardens, walls, castles, churches, monasteries, ancient sites, art galleries and museums, with plenty of atmosphere until late at night. But you may be happy to while a way a Vamos holiday with the relaxed pleasures of the village and the region.
