VAMOS
The county town of the district of Apokoronas is
Vamos. Tourists seldom get lost here.
It is well worth taking a walk to see the sights of the village, out of
the village square.
VRYSES
The quiet silent Cretan village is filled up of Cretan life. The place
is famous for its yogurt, which is offered in several tavernas and cafés
loose - with or without honey.

ARGYROUPOLIS
Where today's Argiroupolis now is, was once the ancient settlement
of Lappa, where up to 30000 people were supposed to live. A walk through
Argiroupolis will give a taste of the great past. Below the village the
land becomes especially idyllic. Hidden under huge trees there are the
wells of Argiroupolis. Today at this spot small tavernas invite you for a
meal. |

The Lake Kournas
Deeply embedded in the Cretan mountains, reflected
in the water from pale green to deep blue, they spot it: the only
natural fresh-water lake of Crete, the "Limni Kourna".
Lake Kournas serves to supply drinking water and water for the fields. |
 |
People go to swim and if someone fancies, he can rent a pedalo.
Everyone should encounter the "nature experience" Lake Kournas with
respect. This sparse landscape with its ecotopes is protected as a
habitat for many animals and plants! |
