Vourvoulos
View of Vourvoulos village from the seaside

This is a traditional village which is located at the northeastern side of the island, in the periphery of the capital town of Fira and at a distance of 2.5 km. The village of Vourvoulos is an ideal place to stay during your vacations since it is located between the picturesque village of Oia at the north end and Santorini's famous black sandy beaches and places of archaelogical interest in the south.
From the verantas of the houses in the village the visitor can enjoy the serene atmosphere of the island, having a view of both the valley and the sea, which is at a distance of about 1.5 km. View from the verantas of the houses in the Vourvoulos village

The village is connected with transportation to the beach and Oia, and through the capital with the rest of the island.

At the Vourvoulos village you will find taverns, fish taverns with local dishes, mini market and ice-cream-parlour.
Besides the fact that the village is located right next to the cosmopolitan capital of the island and it's organized beach, it also has the advantage to be in the northeastern side where lonely beaches are (not organized - not Touristic) on which the visitors have the chance to enjoy the Aegean Sea right next to the erotic and strange landscape which was created by the Volcano explosions.
