✓ Manually calibrated shoreline

The orientation of the shore and the shelter of the bay were checked one by one on the map for every beach — they are not derived automatically.

Vourvourou in Sithonia is a shallow sandy beach with turquoise waters, forming a lagoon between small islets. The bay has high natural protection, and the beach is famous for Diaporos, ideal for SUP and kayaking.

Wind & waves: when to go

Real shoreline from OpenStreetMap at a fixed scale so the diagrams are comparable with one another — the dot marks the beach.

The beach faces northeast. With southwesterly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with northeasterly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The bay is naturally well sheltered — conditions often remain swimmable even on breezy days.
