None of them had actually taken this endeavor seriously, and perhaps this is the secret of their success. They operated and managed the spaces themselves: those who had the “better” degrees were assigned lower positions, with the doctors and engineers exclusively involved in peeling potatoes! The youngsters grew older, the configurations changed and now everyone has their own business while new members are constantly joining the group. Yet the rationale remains exactly the same; at Vamos you will find a beautiful village for walking, guest houses for all budgets, a taverna with exceptional baby lamb with stamnagathi (wild chicory) cooked in the wood oven, and an agritourism activities center, to name a few.
Zygovisti, Arcadia
One of the most mountainous villages in the Peloponnese, Zygovisti is located just 5 kilometers from the famous Dimitsana, on the road to Stemnitsa. It has been recognized as a traditional settlement, while it also boasts an important history, mainly during the war of 1821. As you enter the village you will see the large marble monument in honor of the 200 men who fought alongside Theodoros Kolokotronis.
In the square with the large plane trees you can enjoy your coffee, breakfast or meals throughout the day. Try the village-style rooster, wild boar, eggs with siglino (cured pork) and delicious meatballs. Head to the highest point of the village and turn left at the end of the paved road. This accessible dirt road will lead you to a dense fir tree forest in about 5 minutes, walking past the chapel of Aghios Georgios.
