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.
