Vourvourou, Greece
A small beach of white sand between smooth rocks and pines, with shallow water ideal for children. Arrive early in high summer, as parking is limited.
Karydi Beach is a sandy beach near Vourvourou on the Sithonia peninsula in Halkidiki, northern Greece. The bay lies on the side of Vourvourou that faces Mount Athos and forms a sheltered pool between pale rocks. A pine forest grows behind the beach, and you are more likely to find a shady spot early in the day.
The sand is pale and fine, the water clear, emerald and shallow for a long way out (less than 2 metres deep). It is sheltered from the wind, usually calm and warm, which makes the beach especially suitable for families with small children and non-swimmers. The beach is little organised; sources disagree about facilities (small canteens, showers, toilets), so bring an umbrella, water and food.
Access is along a dirt road, or alternatively by boat. In summer parking is difficult; it is best to arrive by about 9 a.m.
