Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Villa Drydakia

This villa is our dream come true—we were married in this villa!—and we are eager for you to experience its magic, beauty, and quiet inspiration.
Why they chose this property
The Villa is about 700 m from the Vamos town square. It and its twin Villa are about 500 m from the nearest house. Vamos previously was the capital of Apokorona and is 10-15 mins for the nearest beaches at Kalyves and Almyrida.
In recent years Vamos has become the Cultural Centre of the area, having many musical events using its 2 amphitheatres during the whole summer as well as some winter events. Vamos is today a sought-after location for both summer and all year residents. Many of the old buildings in the town have been and are being renovated and the old town has come to life again. The town is locally active as opposed to some towns which primarily serve tourists and summer residents and are mostly closed in the winter.

What makes this property unique
We purchased the villa from its original owners who designed and built it themselves in 2005 on three levels on a hill to give a panorama view of Souda Bay to the North and the White mountains to the south.
