The south of the island of Santorini is a beach resort paradise. For those who want to find the most unique beach in Greece, the way is only here.
The comfortable beach of Kamari
This beach is Santorini's most popular beach destination. It has everything you need for a comfortable holiday. If we talk about what is on the beach, it is the most necessary set of utilities: cafes, small supermarkets, umbrellas, sun loungers, entertainment on the water and the opportunity to do diving.
The color of the sand on the beach is black. All because of the dissolved by sea waves, volcanic rock. Due to the fact that there are pebbles. It is desirable to use slippers or other shoes to approach the water.
Unique to the beaches of Santorini on Kamari beach is the promenade - a long street for walking and relaxing.
The promenade runs along the entire beach area of Kamari. Here you can relax after swimming, grab a bite to eat at one of the seaside taverns or find a curious souvenir.
Perissa beach is one of a series of beaches with black sand. It is as well equipped and comfortable as Kamari, although less crowded.
The beach has great night illumination. It is perfect from the yacht or the boat, as well as from the nearby viewpoints.
The night beach is also interesting because it regularly hosts all kinds of events and parties. There is a diving club for diving enthusiasts.
Akrotiri is the center of beach holidays. Here are the four most famous beaches of the southern part of Santorini. The Red Beach of Akrotiri is very modest in its infrastructure and more like the traditional "wild beaches", although it has the minimum required, including umbrellas and sun loungers.
This is the peculiarity of Red Beach, surrounded by tall rocks with a reddish hue of rock.
It has all the flavor of the natural beauty of the Serdimediterranean. The lack of comfort is perceived as the price for direct contact with nature.
This beach with pebbles on the shore is unique with its bright white color and small size. It is very cozy, but in spite of its popularity, it is not very crowded. This is due to the fact that you can rest on it only by driving in from the sea.
There is minimalism in service - sun loungers and umbrellas. There are no cafes, noisy parties and so you can fully enjoy the splendor of the sea coast of Santorini.
The beach also has black sand but is surrounded by rocks so stunning that you can't get enough of it. The rock on this beach is weathered.
The shape of the rocky shore at Vlahida Beach resembles the whimsical solutions of a super modern designer. This peculiarity of the beach and its sparseness always attracts tourists.
On the beach it is better to stock up on water and other small things, as it is more for lovers of free relaxation, without the annoying service of cafes and restaurants.
Kamari and Perissa are popular beaches, so the prices for services here can be quite different from the usual rates.
The red beach of Akrotiri is not accessible by car directly to the entrance. You will need to park and walk about 200 meters to the beach. Parking is free, but you need to squeeze into a small space.
The white beach of Akrotiri is only accessible from the sea, not from the island.
A swim to the beach will have to do directly from the boat or motorboat. There is no separate berth. The price for the sea transfer is around 5 euros. It is advisable to arrive at the beach no later than 10 am, as during the high season it quickly fills up with holidaymakers.
All beaches, except Akrotiri White Beach, are directly accessible by bus from Fira, the island's main town. It is possible to drive up with a rental car or with a shuttle service.
