Vourvourou City Beach Sithonia
Vourvourou Beach is sandy, with clear water and rarely any with any waves. The sea near the shore is shallow, making it very suitable for young children. As the beach is almost 3.5 km long, the availability of cafes, sunbeds, and water sports depends on where you are. The cleanliness of the beach also depends on how well the property owners, whose establishments directly face the beach, take care of it.
Just as Vourvourou is not a typical resort but more like a weekend settlement, Vourvourou Beach does not resemble a classic city beach in Sithonia. Essentially, Vourvourou has one main street running through the entire settlement, with houses, mostly small villas and family hotels, on either side of this street. Properties facing the sea have their private access to the beach.
