we loved the apartment- modern, spacious and had everything we needed! the hospitality was so so lovely - we felt like part of the family! and we had a lovely time lounging and swimming in the pool.
the apartment itself was really spacious and it was lovely to have friends over to eat dinner together on the balcony. the beds were comfy, the kitchen was well equipped and the shower was nice and hot. we couldn’t asked for anything more! outside we had enough space to do some yoga each morning. there is a lush communal bbq space which we didn’t make use of - but will if we stay again. the pool was so lovely to use - nice that it has a baby pool attached and it felt really clean.
it is just a short 3 minute walk down to the town square (food, bakery, shop etc). there is a lovely restaurant (with a donkey sign) 1 minute away too.
all in all we loved everything and felt so welcomed there. when we arrived Nico greeted us with a drink and some homemade snacks. we couldn’t have asked for anything more.

The room was very nice and clean. The breakfast was good. I liked very much the food from dinner. It was every day something else and very yummy. The staff is very nice except ADA from breakfast ( she is very rude and unpolite).
Stepanos and Giorgios made our stay to be excellent there.

We loved our overnight here! A lovely place - and wonderful staff. Niko greeted us so warmly and was very helpful with our bicycles and bags. Had the best sleep we’ve had in weeks and the breakfast was delicious— especially all the fresh fruit and good coffee.

The village of Vamos, just a bit isolated from the main route, provides perfect place for a relaxed getaway. Being quiet place, at the same time provides for all your needs - with it's local shop, great bakery, petrol station and at least 4 nice places to eat, with Τα Πλατάνια barbecue being our favourite, serving very simple and limited choice, yet delicious local food. Despite some ilolation, there's still just few kilometers to the main national road, making Vamos excellent starting point for local trips, like Samaria or Imbros gorges, lovely beaches nearby, Chania or Rethimno

The local beach was Koutalis Beach.
The local beach was Koutalis Beach. Not really walkable, and rocky so great for snorkelling.
Almyrida Beach was the local sandy beach, and is also a busy resort. Nice bars & restaurants, but I would think it would be too busy for me during high season.
The roads are challenging in some places, never a dull moment! Once you learn to drive like a Greek you will be fine!!!

Lovely little village with enough bars and tavernas to have a pleasant stay for 5 days or more. Near to several other villages and seaside towns only a short drive away. The villagers are welcoming and friendly.

Vamos and the Apokoronas peninsula is a unique unspoilt area...
Vamos and the Apokoronas peninsula is a unique unspoilt area of olive groves, cypress and carob trees surrounded by sea. The village of Vamos is typical of others In the area with traditional houses and an interesting history. Vamos is a lively place in summer with tavernas and coffee shops and a jazz Festival in July. Memorable, relaxing holidays.
This was a super discovery; everything was great. The house is awesome, spacious and authentique. A nice kitchen with everything for breakfast and comfortable sofacorner. We also loved the courtyard and the rooftop hangout. And then ofcourse a swimmingpool around the corner, excellent! And everything sparkling clean! The little village is lovely situated in a great environement with view of the mountains. And the local tavern has the most excellent food. Everybody was very friendy.
We loved everything! The location, the view, the area with the local restaurants and the lovely welcome and helpful tips we got from the owners.
It felt like we stepped into a movie for a while- the stone and the AC helped with the temperatures and there were so many places where you could just sit down and enjoy your holiday!
Beautiful villas in a beautiful part of Crete. The villas are decorated to the highest standard with lots of little features that gave them a homely feel. 3 proper bedrooms with comfortable beds. The pool and BBQ area is stunning with more than enough sun beds and umbrellas. The gardens are well tended and so pretty.
The host is excellent. It is in the outskirts of a small charming old town. Our host gave us great ideas on where to tour, for example Chania, and the best way to get there. He even provides an online walking tour of Vamos, which we enjoyed. Absolutely the nicest place we stayed in during our five weeks in Greece.
We loved that place. wonderful situation in a local village with good restaurant but not many tourists. the accommodation is perfect with separate room and 2 bathrooms, double terrasse and fantastic swimming pool with a view on the hills. 15 minutes to a nice beach. in the middle of many touristic places and hikes
Peaceful location, many spring flowers. Our hosts were warm and welcoming - presents of herbs and lemons from garden!. Apartment was comfortable, with pleasant seating and views of mountains. Village shops and cafes were within 15 minutes walk. Beaches and interesting places were a short drive.
The property has a wonderful garden that creates a serene environment. Located right next to the main road of the village of Vamos it is very quiet and safe yet it allows you to experience first-hard all the activities and the local shops of the area.
Sparkling clean, stylisch, new and very comfortable and well equipped. Private pool is super clean and refreshing. 10 minutes walking distance / 2 minutes by car to Vamos center with tavernas and shops. Beautiful herbs and vegetable garden!
The village is lovely, the place is located quite near to the Main Street. It is spacious and has beautiful views from the terrace. The contact person was nice and friendly. The place had a welcome raki on the table.
Beautiful appartment in an excellent location of Crete. Stunning view. Spotless clean. Very kind and supportive host. Even in winter some good restaurants remain open in nearby villages.
The property was clean, modern, with all the amenities needed for a pleasant stay. Secluded enough for privacy and relaxation, but close enough to the village to enjoy a delicious meal.
The villa is ideally situated in the heart of the village, and close to tavernas and shops. The villa was also spacious for a family of four and the pool area was just perfect.
Perfectly placed close to the centre of Vamos but in a quiet location. Christina our host was very welcoming and explained everything on arrival.
Will definitely be coming back.
What a wonderful welcoming family at Vamos Palace apartments! If you are hoping to experience the true Cretan hospitality, generosity and welcome then you have to stay here.
