Vourvoulos Holidays

Located in the north of Santorini, a 10-minute drive from the island’s capital, Fira, the quaint village of Vourvoulos offers a serene escape from the bustling crowds, while still providing easy access to the main attractions. This picturesque village boasts traditional Cycladic architecture, with whitewashed buildings and blue-domed churches dotting the volcanic landscape, against a backdrop of rugged cliffs and the turquoise Aegean Sea.

Explore Vourvoulos’ charming streets on foot and discover hidden gems, like tavernas serving authentic Greek cuisine and local cafés offering panoramic views. The nearby Vourvoulos and Koloumbos beaches provide perfect opportunities for sunbathing on the dark volcanic sand, and swimming in the calm, shimmering water.

Take time to wander further inland to explore vineyards and wineries producing some of Santorini’s renowned wines, or hike along scenic trails that offer vistas of the island’s dramatic coastline. Vourvoulos offers a tranquil retreat with all the beauty and charm Santorini has to offer.

If you’re visiting Santorini and haven’t yet pencilled in all of your overseas activities, you’re in for a treat. easyJet holidays is proudly supporting the Cyclades Preservation Fund’s campaign in Santorini, Posidonia Alert, which helps to protect Posidonia Oceanica – a vital species of seagrass that absorbs carbon up to 15 times more efficiently than terrestrial forests.

As part of this work, we’re happy to offer a guided snorkelling experience for just £1. The trip will be led by a master diver who knows the caldera – and Santorini – inside out. You’ll have the chance to see the unique Posidonia seagrass meadows for yourself and enjoy swimming in the stunning waters of the Aegean Sea. Plus, the trip includes use of snorkelling equipment, as well as pick up and drop off. Click here to book.
