in
1982 a few but highly energetic people from the village had the idea to organize
a cultural festival, with the support of many significant friends from all over
Greece. During that festival, which lasted three days, a number of the most
famous Greek artists had performed their work, and the village has been visited
by 40,000 people. Next year the same festival, which lasted four days this time,
had a greater success while 60,000 people visited the place.
Since then Vamos, taking advantage of its reputation, started to develop a
different kind of tourism, with respect to the tradition and the environment.
The Apokoronas Vamos
extends from the foothills of the White Mountains north to the coast, in
a wide plain with rolling hills. To the east, Cape Drapanon rises above the
plain and extends out into the Sea of Crete. The area is very green and fertile,
unusual for rocky Crete. The Kiliaris river, known in antiquity as 'Pyknos',
runs through the region.

 Vamos
a traditional village located
after the village of Kalives,
the landscape changes, and has nothing to do any more with the highly tourist
developed areas that you are leaving behind you.
You are now at the area of Vamos, with the pure, authentic landscape, the
traditional villages of Tsivara and Vamos, and the
well known cretan hospitality.
Arriving to Vamos, you can discern a nobleness that the village as an old
capital of the county still maintains.
Vamos is the seat of the municipality with 618 permanent residents built on a
hill at 190 m a.s.l. It houses a Police station, Post Office, High School,
Court of Justice and a branch office of Agricultural Bank of Greece.
The main products are olive oil, honey, carob-beans and diary products.
 Vamos
was first mentioned at the census of Fr. Barozzi in 1577 as "VAMU" and was
always inhabited having, early this century, a population of 1036 inhabitants.
The name VAMOS however is considered to be prehistoric.
The village due to its strategic position played a significant role to the
history of Crete homes,
especially during the Turkish occupation, when it was the
seat of the Turkish commander.
Several attempts have been made by he Cretan revolutionists to capture the
village and numerous blood stained battles, have taken place.
After one of those battles in May 1896 the revolutionists finally achieved to
take over the place. This fact had a great effect, even abroad and gave birth
to the General Revolutionary Assembly of Cretan People for the independence of
the island.

The visitor to Vamos will feel the friendly atmosphere of the village, and
will enjoy the traditional hospitality. A walk through the old village, which
is now undergoing a restoration phase, with its narrow paved streets and the
flowery yards, will bring to life the glorious past of Vamos, a stop at the
square's cafe for a refreshment, a Greek coffee or a raki will make the
visitor one of the "initiated" friends of Vamos.
A guest house, maintained by the Municipality and made in the pure Cretan
Traditional style is available for the visitors.
It is worth to visit Vamos and become one of his friends.
