Is the water clean at Kammena Vourla?

Kammena Vourla sits on a stretch of coast classed as a coastal bathing site, carrying an official EU Bathing Water rating of Excellent for the 2025 season. Under the EU Bathing Water Directive, national authorities test for intestinal enterococci and E. coli through the season and report the results the following spring — the 2025 rating was published in spring 2026, and 2026's won't follow until spring 2027. In addition to that yearly rating, some national authorities — for Croatia, the national environmental authority — publish individual water sample results during the season itself, ahead of the annual report. It sits in Central Greece.

That rating has been consistent: every one of the 11 classified seasons on record has come back Excellent or Good. If you're timing a visit around water temperature rather than crowds, July–September is the safest bet, with August typically the peak — expect a cooler, calmer sea either side of that stretch. The nearest town, Καμένα Βούρλα, is about ~500 m away.

“Excellent” is one point on a four-step scale — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor — assigned once per year from that season's water samples, not a live reading. It describes how the site performs on average across the season, not the exact water quality this afternoon; for day-to-day sea conditions, see the “Right now” and 7-day outlook panels above. There are 14 places to eat within a kilometre — Μουριές is the closest, about ~460 m away.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kammena Vourla safe to swim in?

Yes — Kammena Vourla carries the top EU Bathing Water classification, Excellent, for 2025, and 11 of its 11 classified seasons have rated Excellent or Good. It's also held steady at Excellent for 11 straight years.

What temperature is the sea at Kammena Vourla right now?

Treat the ~23°C above as illustrative only — Kammena Vourla's live marine feed was down when this page was generated, and the figure will be replaced with a real reading automatically once it's back. That's the reading right off Central Greece. On the modeled climatology here, August usually runs warmest.

When does Kammena Vourla have the warmest water?

For the warmest water, aim for July–September — that's when the modeled sea temperature is typically at its best. That applies to the water around Central Greece. Within that window, August is typically the single warmest month.

How is bathing water quality actually assessed?

It's based on official water samples: authorities test for intestinal enterococci and E. coli through the season, then report the full-season results to the European Environment Agency each spring, which assigns one of four grades — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor. A few national authorities, including Croatia's IZOR, also publish individual samples during the season itself, ahead of that annual report — that isn't yet available for Kammena Vourla.

Is there parking near Kammena Vourla?

There's no parking mapped within 1.5 km of Kammena Vourla, so plan on a walk, or arrive early once it gets busy. The nearest town is Καμένα Βούρλα, about ~500 m away.
