Vamos, the Capital of Apokoronas

Sheltered by the rolling foothills of the White Mountains, Vamos has a captivating ambience. Vamos is one of the few ecotourism villages in Crete with many traditional buildings still completely intact or delightfully renovated. The village also boasts archaeological discoveries, charming orthodox monasteries and plenty of wonderful chapels. Tourists will enjoy meandering through the village’s winding roads, walking along the olive groves, and visiting Karidi Monastery dating back to 1850 with its lovely old olive mill.

Nestled at the foot of the White Mountains, the picturesque village of Vamos boasts a wealth of monuments and an impressive cultural heritage. In the 9th century Vamos was inhabited by Arab pirates and in 1863 a Pasha named Savas selected Vamos as the Capital of Sfakia. Because of its decision, the village encountered a great development with a mosque, an administrative center (serai), school and army barracks. Unfortunately, these buildings were all burned and demolished during the great battle of 1896 against the Turks. However, there is still a well-preserved traditional stone road and the walks around the old part of the village are worth visiting.
