Red Beach at Akrotiri
Exploring Santorini Sailing Holidays area
Red beach is located in the area of Akrotiri. Beautiful beach, well known for the unique color of the sand and the hill behind it. Soaring red lava cliffs which drop right to the sandy shore and into the clear blue sea, make for a majestic setting and one to enjoy. The beach can be reached either by boat (there are several connecting Red Beach with Perissa and Akrotiri or by foot (10 minutes walk from Akrotiri, you have to reach Agios Nikolaos church in Akrotiri next to the excavations area). We suggest to include Red beach into your itinerary.
Navigational Aids
Athinios is a small commercial harbor about 3 nM south of Skala. It is usually crowded with small cargo ships.
Santorini or Vlychada Marina is a new marina just west of cape Exomitis. The harbour is the only well protected harbour or anchorage of the island.
Akrotiri beach is located next to ancient Akrotiri at the southern coast of Santorini. It lies next to Red Beach and White Beach.
Vlychada is the last beach in the row of Perissa and Perivolos before Akrotiri. The pumice stone hills just behind the beach keep it calm and quite.
A quiet, wonderful, rocky beach. One of the many hidden spots for swimming near the extreme nature of the island in the area of Akrotiri.
Near Kokkini Ammos in the west is the beach Aspri Ammos where we have the same background environment, the only difference being that the cliffs surrounding the beach is white. Small, with crystal clear waters and lots of peace.
