Vamvakou Revival

Christmas Vamvakou is revealed… with Nikos Portokaloglou

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!

A group of young people wanted to write a new chapter in the story of the village, aspiring to breathe new life into it.

Do dreams come true? If we believe in them, yes, they do! Vamvakou Revival with the support of Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF).

Christmas in Vamvakou

People say “Let’s go to the city for Christmas”, but we say “Off to the village”! The paved alleys, the quivering flame in the fireplace, the sparkling lights, the firs covered with snow, cozy delicacies and smells, all bring to mind Christmas in the village. In the mountain village of Vamvakou in Lakonia, at an altitude of 950 meters, original activities and themed experiences will keep us company until the first days of 2023.
