The Red Beach is one of the lunar-shaped, unearthly beaches on the island of Santorini. Having been shaped from the volcanic eruptions of millennia, the beach boasts its emblematic cliffs of color red. It is located just a few minutes from the ancient site of Akrotiri, making it a great destination for those seeking to combine a visit to the best preserved ancient settlement along with swimming in a spectacular place. 
 

You can access Red Beach either by car or by boat. Either way allows you to admire the mesmerizing colors depicted on the cliffs and the sand. From black to scarlet red and all the hues in between, the spectacle is simply amazing. And the seabed is so rich and filled with treasures that you will be tempted to indulge in snorkeling. Get your gear and off you go for a truly enchanting journey underwater! 
 

The beach is fully organized, with sunbeds and umbrellas upping your convenience and offering a great getaway to an extraordinary land. Despite its remote location, the beach is often crowded and therefore you are welcome to choose non-peak hours for making the most out of this grandiose place. 

A visit to the Red Beach, along with the rest of the distinctive beaches on the island of Santorini, is a must!
