Kambia, on the Apokoronou Peninsula, is a small traditional Vilage near the village of Plaka. As you leave Plaka and follow signs for Kokkino Chorio, you will start to climb up a hill. After about a kilometre, on the bend, turn right in to the tiny hamlet of Kambia. Kambia has about 50 permanent residents.
As always, there is a nice church in the middle of the old houses that form the original village. The older generation of villagers live here along with a few foreign neighbours in adjacent renovated houses.
It is within easy driving distance (4 km) of the coastal resort of Almerida, with its lovely sandy beach, and the busy town of Kalives, which offers shopping and amenities for day-to-day living.
The quaint hamlet of Kambia has magnificent uninterrupted views of Souda Bay, olive and pine covered hills and valleys, and the White Mountains which are snow capped for 6 months of the year. With peaceful fields and olive groves, Kambia - Apokoronas area comprises some of the most attractive villages on Crete such as Kokkino Chorio, Plaka, Drapanos, Xirosterni, Gavalohori, Vamos and Kefalas, all of which are old traditional villages with stone houses and beautifully blended new developments.
Στο χωριό του Γαβαλοχωρίου , 1 χιλιόμετρο από την πλατεία του χωριού, κάτω από τα τεράστια πλατάνια, βρίσκονται τα πέτρινα πηγάδια που χρονολογούνται από τον 11ο αιώνα και μια γέφυρα της ίδιας περιόδου. Αγγεία που βρέθηκαν στο χώρο εκτίθενται στο μουσείο του χωριού. Από την πλατεία του χωριού, ακολουθήστε τις πινακίδες και προς το τέλος της ανηφόρας κατευθυνθείτε αριστερά μέχρι να δείτε στο δεξί σας χέρι τα πηγάδια.
Set high on the Drapanos Apokoronas peninsula hill, this village often has panoramic views of either Souda Bay and the coastal villages of Almyrida and Kalives to the north and west, or the green valley and the White Mountains to the south. There is a taverna, mini market, and 2 cafes in the village itself, and only an 8 minute drive to Ombrogialos Cove and Almyrida or 13 minutes to Kalives and the National Highway.
Slowly expanding, its still quite a traditional village with an area on the outskirts which is essentially ‘new build’. There are about 110 permanent residents.
It’s also difficult to believe that Drapanos is at the forefront of a project supported by WWF (world wildlife fund) Greece. A lady called Sharon Jackson is currently heading a project for ESA (the European Sustainability Academy) to build a ‘fully sustainable’ residential conference, international management and research centre .
The building will be constructed in a very old and traditional manner – possibly using elements of mud and straw. It is planned to be open in September 2010. The plot is on the outskirts of the village and the intention is that the building is also used by the villagers to provide them with another amenity.
