8- Red beach Santorini
Red volcanic Sandy Beach in Santorini, Cyclades islands
Santorini is not famous for its beaches but rather for its scenery.
Despite this though, Red Beach in Santorini is one of the top beaches in Greece and among the most famous beaches in the world.
It is located on the southwest coast of the island, at a distance of 12 km from Thira and 23 km from Oia.
Its name is due to the red color of the rocks in the area, and this rare scenery is complemented by the black volcanic pebbles that make up the beach.
The beach is not fully organized, although there are umbrellas and sunbeds in which you rarely can find a place. For this reason, we suggest you get to the beach early.
You should also keep in mind that the space even for a beach towel only, may be insufficient due to the crowds.
It is a good idea to have a water mask with you as the underwater rocks are also impressive! Also, be prepared for high temperatures on Red Beach because it is protected from north winds, so there is no cool breeze.
Tip: Your visit to Red Beach can be combined with a tour to the nearby archeological site of Akrotiri, where the famous prehistoric settlement was discovered buried under the volcanic ash.
Akrotiri settlement is Greece’s Pompeii, the only difference is that Akrotiri was destroyed 1600 years before Pompeii!
