Ambeliko
Ambeliko sits among the olive-terraced hills above Plomari, its name recalling vineyards that once shared the slopes with today’s dominant olive groves.
Ambeliko sits among the olive-terraced hills above Plomari, its name recalling vineyards that once shared the slopes with today’s dominant olive groves. Like its neighbour Akrasi, it is a village for slow driving and quiet squares rather than a single headline sight, part of the mountain backdrop that gives Plomari its layered geography.
What to See and Do
- dry-stone olive terraces and mountain roads typical of the Plomari hinterland
- a quiet traditional square with local cafe life
