Where is Karidi Beach located
Located at the very end of Vourvourou settlement, this beach is easily accessible, and an additional plus is that you can leave your car in the shade because there is a pine forest in the background of Karidi that only adds to the overall impression. Find your ideal accommodation in Vourvourou.
This is also one of the favorite beaches for families due to the pleasant sand and long shallow area which is great for small children.
Due to its position, it is protected from the wind so the sea here is almost always calm and warm. Considering this, it is logical to expect that this beach will be crowded during the peak season, so be prepared for crowds during that period.
The beach is not organized, so it is necessary to bring your own umbrellas or arrive early and secure a good spot in the natural shade. We strongly recommend that you visit this beach early in the morning during the season, before the biggest crowds gather. The beach does not have showers or changing cabins, nor toilets.
If you get hungry, there is a mobile kiosk that offers fast food from the grill and refreshing drinks at very reasonable prices. Above the beach, near the parking area, there is a restaurant where you can rest and freshen up. Of course, there are also toilets at the restaurant.
Advice: If you want to be alone, head left from the central bay of Karidi beach and you will find a quieter cove in the shade for yourself and your loved ones.
