On hot days you sit here comfortably under huge plane trees on the river bed "Voutakas". The place
is famous for its yogurt, which is offered in several tavernas and cafés
loose - with or without honey.
Vamos
The former county town of the district of Apokoronas
was
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.
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.
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!

residents there, called the Kephalades, the leaders of the Byzantine
settlers sent to Crete in 1182. Once it was the principal town of the
municipality of Apokoronas.
