KAMPOR:
 

KAMPOR is located on the Nord west of the island and streches from one bay accross the field to another one near monastery. Kampor is a quiet and family friendly area (car an advantage due to avarage local transport). Very family / children friendly. In the vicinity there are several restaurants. Village has ambulance, restaurant, pizzeria's, shop, diving centre.

The place derives its name from latin 'campus' meaning field. It had perhaps the best look of a traditional fisherman's village before it got developed through tourism. Today it is popular place with tourist that like nature and divers.
Kampor is, as a village, relatively big in the island's criterion. It consist of a Forest/ Nature park Kalifront ( where you can come across a dear or buck, if you are lucky), a tourist village in woody Suha Punta, a long shallow sandy beach in the Kampor bay, a fertile valley and the area around St. Eufemia bay with the franciscan monastery.

But Kampor is not just that, it is the traditional houses on the hills too, as well as those newer ones open to tourists...
