This may not be necessary, and we don't all have IPs to spare. (Well, I
do, at present, but that's another story.)

At the moment, amanooro and kassinakis don't appear to have DNS entries.
Therefore, the easiest way to proceed would be to get Otenet, the ISP in
charge of amanooro, and whoever sets up kassinakis, to set the IP for
www.amanooro.gr and www.kassinakis.gr to be the same as www.cottonon.gr:
212.205.55.1

There are arguments for having an IP for each site, but if all you're doing
is serving web pages, I personally wouldn't bother. I don't think it's
worth the extra hassle.

If you want to do things the hard way, ask me again. :)

So, you can ignore that, and go on to this:

Your httpd.conf should end up something like this:

Port 80
ServerName proxy.cottonon.gr
NameVirtualHost 212.205.55.1

<VirtualHost 212.205.55.1>
DocumentRoot /path/to/cottonon/site
ServerName www.cottonon.gr
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 212.205.55.1>
DocumentRoot /path/to/kassinakis/site
ServerName www.kassinakis.gr
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 212.205.55.1>
DocumentRoot /path/to/amanooro/site
ServerName www.amanooro.gr
</VirtualHost>

There's some basic security in place on that server; I'm not going to
post a summary of problems with it to the group at large. Feel free
to contact directly for more hints. However, in general, turn off 
anything you don't want anyone to get to, then filter everything that
is for your use only.

You forgot:

 * Join HelLUG. (http://www.hellug.gr/)

:)

Any problems, feel free to email me - Greek is OK.

Hope this helps,
Simon
