ALIKAMPOS

An absolutely gorgeous hilltop village with fabulous views of the White Mountains. Set in the foothills of the White Mountains, just off the main road to the south coast, this is a very quaint and traditional village which has a kafenio where the very friendly locals gather to chat. The Church of the Koimesis is a tiny Byzantine chapel with extraordinary frescoes dating from the 14th century. Many conifers on the surrounding hillsides make this a very green village. Just on the outskirts of the village is the Dourakis Winery which produces 300,000 bottles of wine a year, and hosts dinners and lunches which include a tour of the winery and wine tasting. Very rural, yet only 7 minutes by car to the many amenities and the National Highway in Vrisses. 10 minutes to the sandy beaches at Georgioupolis, and 40 minutes to either Chania or Rethymnon.
