Ano Kato
About
Found on Crete, Ano Kato sits in the village of Vamos, in the Chania region of western Crete, and serves as a café for locals and travellers moving through the area. Vamos lies inland from the north coast, within reach of Chania and Rethymno, two of the island's main towns, which makes the café a practical stop for anyone driving between the western and central parts of Crete. Its setting places it away from the busiest coastal strips while keeping it connected to the island's road network.
Ano Kato operates as a café, opening daily from 07:00 to 23:00, so it covers everything from an early morning coffee to a late evening drink. A rating of 4.9 out of 5, gathered from 187 reviews, reflects how consistently visitors respond to it. The café sits in Vamos, a village in the Chania region, and its position between Chania and Rethymno means it can be worked into a day of travelling across the island. Heraklion, Agios Nikolaos and Sitia lie further east, while Matala and Elafonisi sit to the south and south-west.
The café's Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/AnoKatoVamos is where updates and further details are posted. Opening hours run from 07:00 to 23:00 every day.
Crete's Mediterranean climate brings hot, dry summers and mild, wetter winters, with the season running roughly from May to October and August the busiest month for ferries and beaches. Greek island cooking centres on seafood, olive oil, feta and other local cheeses, and grilled meats, so meals around a visit tend to be hearty and locally rooted. Arriving on Crete is possible by air or by ferry, and the island's towns are linked by road, with Chania and Heraklion serving as the main gateways for visitors heading to Vamos and the surrounding villages.
