Access

Vourkari Bay is located east of the city of Megara. From Megara drive towards the ferry to Salamina, but the direct road to the location is like maybe 1.5 km before the ferry. For good starting location and viewpoints, click on a P in the map for directions. Don't drive the whole way out, park by the houses and walk if it has rained or is muddy.
