Kampoi (Greek: Κάμποι) is a village and community in the municipal unit of Keramia, in the municipality of Chania, on the island of Crete, Greece. The Keramia area lies in the northern foothills of the White Mountains and consists of small, scattered settlements.[2]
In the 2021 census, the village of Kampoi had 92 residents. The Community of Kampoi had a total population of 134 and comprised the settlements of Kampoi, Madaro (12 residents), and Tsakistra (30 residents).[1]
During the revolutions of the 19th century, it was the center for the Cretan revolutionaries. A famous revolutionary (hainis) of this period, Ioannis Moutsakis was born here.
From Kampoi, you may start for the Psychro Pigadi refuge at an altitude of 1450m. Until recently, the only access was by foot. This is a location with a view of virtually the whole north part of the prefecture. It's possible to get there by car, but the road is made of dirt and is on a very steep incline, making it quite unsafe.
