View of Vourvoulos.

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.
