SELLIA
Sellia is located at an altitude of 328 metres, south of Kefalas, near the eastern end of the Vamos hills. The name of the village probably derives from the word séli, which means “mountain pass” in the Cretan dialect. The village is estimated to have been founded during Ottoman rule.
VAMOS
Vamos is a small town, part of the municipality of Apokoronas, serving as its historical capital. It is situated on a small hill, at an altitude of 190 metres above sea level, about 25 kilometres from Chania. In Vamos, one can find several restaurants, snack bars and shops in the village, as well as many public services, such as a fully equipped health centre, schools, a police station and the regional court.
The village is said to have been founded by Arab invaders during the 8th century, which sought refuge in Crete after being expelled from Andalusia. The first official record of the name (Vamo/Vamu) is found on a map of 1577 made by Francesco Barozzi.
Right below the main square, at the top of the hill, one can find the old quarter of Vamos, which is devoted to preserving local heritage and customs. Within this context, several old houses have been refurbished to provide accommodation for visitors.
