Visiting Crete for the first time, this house is the perfect base, the local area of Vamos is beautiful to walk around. Mountain views all around. Beaches are not too far away - 20 minutes drive, the garden at the house is gorgeous, a perfect sanctuary to sit in for the morning or all day! Vamos is such a friendly village, great restaurants and coffee, bakeries all nearby. we loved our week, we had a car so were able to visit the south and west coasts and also enjoyed being at the house and hanging out in Vamos. We hope to be back!
