Vamvakou is a small mountain village in Laconia with few inhabitants, which is currently being reborn; a dream-like place which invites you to get to know it!
Do dreams come true? If we believe in them, yes, they do! Vamvakou Revival with the support of Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF).
A group of young people wanted to write a new chapter in the story of the village, aspiring to breathe new life into it.

September in Vamvakou!
Autumn has just apeared, yet on Mount Parnon we still hold on to the warmth of summer. Vamvakou looks like it has stepped out of a dream – and yet, you can experience it wide awake! This month, we enjoy Giota Negka’s melodic voice under the starry sky, find ourselves through a combination of yoga, sound therapy, and nature walks, and live each moment with our loved ones through inspired creative activities.

Life in the village
Life in the village; wondering if it's worth daring? Just think how often you get the chance to start from the beginning; to build a new homeland with your bare hands. So, life in the village it is then! You will definitely have many stories to tell your children! And who knows? They might also become part of the Revival.
Vamvakou Incubator will be operating as a growth centre and a lever for the attraction of new business activity in the area, giving answers to problems by supporting new service/product/solution development, while contributing significantly to the revitalization, as well as to the qualitative upgrade of the economy in the wider area of Mount Parnon and the region of the Peloponnese.
