Santorini’s best beaches

It’s impossible to do a definitive guide about Santorini without mentioning the best beaches of the island.

If you want to take a dip in Santorini, the most famous beaches are:

  • The beaches of Perissa, Perivolos and Agios Georgios: large black sand beaches with snacks and taverns
  • Kamari Beach, another large black sand beach, where you can rent deckchairs and enjoy many water activities.
  • The Red Beach, named after the volcanic ochre cliffs surrounding it. You can get there in only 5 minutes by a trail.
  • The White Beach, right next to the Red Beach. You will need take a boat to get there.
  • Vlihada Beach and its white rocks.
  • Monilithos Beach, ideal with children with its shallow waters.
  • Kolumbo Beach, only accessible by foot, and frequented by nudists.
