Vamos Vacation Rental : Vamos

At the heart of the Apokoronas Peninsula in Western Crete sits the thriving old village of Vamos. Although only a 10-minute drive from many of the beautiful and unspoilt local beaches, Vamos provides a year-round haven, away from it all. Bank facilities, Post Office, bakery, supermarkets, 24-hour Health Centre and three good tavernas are all to be found within the village. It is the perfect place to base yourself for a vacation - whether it be a sunshine summer holiday or at any time of the year to enjoy the beautiful surrounding area, so rich in flora and wildlife, not to mention the thousands of years of history and archaeology. A 5-minute walk from the centre of Vamos, at the edge of the village, you will find Dolphin and Octopus Villas. Both villas look across the village to Souda Bay, and have wonderful views of the White Mountains to the southwest. They are designed in traditional local style, but provide every modern comfort and facility. Each has its own swimming pool.

Dolphin Villa is a single storey villa, with 2 bedrooms and 2 bath/shower rooms - but see below for details of additional self-contained studio room, sleeping a further 2 guests. The villa offers beautiful views of the White Mountains to the south-west, and north to the sea at Souda Bay. The villa has its own 35sqm swimming pool, which is 1.6m deep at the deep end, 0.6m at the shallow end, with stone steps between the two levels. There is a pool terrace with pergola and a shady balcony at the front of the house. There is a double bedroom (with en-suite shower room), and a second bedroom with twin beds. The bedrooms are air-conditioned - reverse cycle air conditioners provide cool air for the summer heat and will warm the rooms on chilly winter evenings. All main rooms have ceiling fans. All modern facilities are provided, including TV/DVD, radio/CD, washing machine, cooker, fridge-freezer and a dishwasher. A barbeque is provided for those who wish to cook 'al fresco'.
