Vourvoulos (Greek: Βουρβούλος) is a village on the island of Santorini in Greece.[2] It is located 3,7 kilometers northeast of the capital Fira, built on a slope facing the east shore of the island. Vourvoulos is part of the Thira region and had 591 permanent inhabitants according to the Greek census of 2021.[1]
A number of small beaches lie along this stretch of the east coast. The most northerly is Xiropigado, a narrow strip of pebble down a dirt track off the main east coast road. Just south is Vourvoulos beach itself, down another dirt track and a not particularly attractive strip of stone and sharp black sand.
