Vourvourou

Vourvourou (Greek: Βουρβουρού) is a village near Agios Nikolaos, in the Chalkidiki peninsula of northern Greece.

Rather it is a 'strip' of shops, tavernas and rooms to rent and is almost an exclusively seasonal area with few year-round residents.

During the 1960s the teaching staff of the University of Thessaloniki developed a holiday resort in a private area also known as Vourvourou.

In 1974 excavation at the chapel of Panagia in Vourvourou, uncovered ruins of what is probably the remains of the monastery of Ieromnimon.

Vourvourou is situated 51 kilometres (32 mi) southeast of Poligiros on the eastern side of Sithonia peninsula, between the villages of Ormos Panagia and Sarti.
