Vamos is a semi-mountainous village located at an altitude of 200 meters, approximately 28 km from the city of Chania. Its history dates back to the 8th century when Arab pirates settled in the area. It was listed in the Venetian census of 1573 and, in 1866, served as the capital of the Sfakia prefecture, hosting the Turkish military headquarters. The village’s development during that time is evident in its elegant homes and public buildings featuring neoclassical elements.
Today, Vamos preserves its traditional architecture with stone alleys, arched houses, and old manor houses. Points of interest include the 13th-century chapel of the Virgin Mary, the Karidi Monastery with its impressive olive mill, and the restored old school built in 1863. The area also offers cultural events, traditional tavernas, and activities such as Cretan cooking classes.
🏡 Kaina (Old Kaina)
Kaina is located at an altitude of about 300 meters, 27 km from Chania, and is a community in the Apokoronas region. The name is derived from the ancient toponym Kaino or Kainos, mentioned by the historian Diodorus Siculus, and according to tradition, it is the birthplace of Britomartis Diktynna. The modern village of Kaina was built during the Ottoman era and is also known as “Old Kaina.”
The village features traditional architecture with buildings reflecting Venetian and Ottoman heritage. The area is predominantly agricultural and pastoral, with crops such as olives, vineyards, oats, wheat, barley, and broad beans. Locals are mainly engaged in farming and livestock breeding, with some small-scale cultivation of vegetables and fruit trees.
If you’re in the area, it’s well worth visiting both villages to experience authentic Cretan hospitality, traditional architecture, and the peaceful charm of the countryside.
