Beach

About This Attraction

Santorini Greece

Red Beach in Santorini is famous for its striking red volcanic sand and impressive cliffs. Located near the village of Akrotiri, its a popular spot for tourists who want to experience its unique landscape. The beach can be accessed by foot or boat, and while there are no official Red Beach opening hours, visitors typically enjoy the area during daylight.

Swimming in the crystal-clear waters is a common activity, though the beach itself is not large. Its important for visitors to wear appropriate footwear due to the rocky terrain. Basic amenities like sunbeds and umbrellas are available, but bringing your own snacks and water is advisable.
