Red Beach is 12 km south west of Fira in the Akrotiri area, and one of the most beautiful and famous beaches of Santorini. It is 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 can drive and park next to the Agios Nikolaos church in Akrotiri.
