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.

Eine tolle Zeit in Vamos
Auf der Suche nach einem schönen Ferienhaus etwas außerhalb der Zentren sind wir in Vamos fündig geworden.
Die funktional ausgestattete Unterkunft bietet alles was man braucht. Inklusive 2 Badezimmer die bei einer 4 köpfigen Familie natürlich mehr als willkommen sind. Die Highlights des Hauses sind der wirklich große private Pool der in einem Nichtschwimmer (60cm) und Schwimmerbereich (160cm) aufgeteilt ist und der fantastische Blick auf das Gebirge dessen Gipfel bis weit ins Jahr hinein schneebedeckt sein können. Melanie ist eine super Gastgeberin und die Schlüsselübergabe und Kommunikation lief schnell und reibungslos und das Verwaltungsteam vor Ort um Fiona kümmert sich um eine sorgenfreie Zeit ihrer Gäste.
Der nächste Strand ist eine kurze Fahrt entfernt, wir bevorzugen aber Episkopi der jenseits der Hotels nicht überlaufen ist und mit Chrysos Asterias eine tolle Taverne am Strand zu bieten hat. Zahlreiche Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Tavernen finden sich auch in Vamos allerdings sind wir dort nie eingekehrt da wir unsere Ausflüge stets nach der Mittagshitze starteten und auf dem Rückweg oder vor Ort eine Taverne aufsuchten, hier können wir die Taverna Mythos in Kalyves wärmstens empfehlen.
Kurzum, wer auf der Suche nach einer schönen, funktionalen Unterkunft mit tollen Pool und Aussicht etwas Abseits des Trubels ist wird hier glücklich.
