Santorini Beaches: Vourvoulos beach in Santorini Greece

Santorini Vourvoulos 01
Vourvoulos Santorini: Vourvolos beach is a mere 7 Kms. from Fira located to the northeast. This sandy beach of Santorini is ideal for relaxation and water is almost turquoise blue. The best part about Vourvoulos beach is that it is among the lesser known beaches of Santorini and as such it is secluded which provides discreet privacy to the discerning beach bum.
Visitors to Vourvoulos would do well to visit the fascinating village of Karterados. It is without doubt one of the most
 

stunning village of Santorini and the buildings here in Karterados are renowned for their architectural grandeur. The landscape is rocky which only adds to the charm of the village. The houses here are surprisingly at an identical level with the street and the churches are indeed elegant in terms of architectural style.

Regrettably the Vourvoulos beach is not well maintained and the beach is full of garbage and trash. Also, it is a fact that the sea breeze here is very blustery which makes sun bathing at the beach to be a dangerous proposition. The waves too are huge and it is always advisable to be at a safe distance from the shoreline.

The Vourvoulos beach is ideal for someone who wants to holiday unseen and unheard. There is no fax, no telephone, no E-mails to bother. Here at Vourvoulos it is simply you and the sea.

Our Impressions

Unfortunately the beach itself is not very impressive and full of sea debris. The wind comes in strongly which is a bit off putting for any sunbather of which there are few. The waves here are particularly large and good to admire from afar.
