Santorini island is famous for its unique beaches. Instead of the "ordinary" sandy beaches there are also
black pebbled beaches, which a result of a past volcanic eruption, and the famous Red Beach, near Akrotiri, with its red-coloured sand. Water is most of the times quit deep, 2 meters from the shore the depth can be already more than 3 meters, and quite cold, but the crystal clear water will more than compensate you. The great majority of SANTORINI beaches are well organised with umbrellas and sun beds and many them have sea sports facilities ...

The Black Beach that stretches along the coast of the villages Perivolos, Perissa, Kamari and Monolithos, is the most frequented of all Santorini Beaches. Kamari Beach and Perissa Beach offer a wide selection of hotels, rooms for rent and apartments, as well as a number of seaside tavernas, bars and cafes. The beaches are organized and provide a variety of water sports facilities, umbrellas and sun beds. The Red and White Beaches near Akrotiri, are two stunning Santorini Beaches, located beneath dramatic cliffs. The White Beach can be reached only by excursion boat, but it is well worth the trip. The beaches of Amoudi and Armeni are situated below the settlement of Oia (Ia), and are quite popular. Amoudi Beach is one of the most charming Santorini Beaches, with clean, clear waters, a small harbor and several quaint fish taverns and cafes. Both beaches are easy to get to from Oia, Imerovigli and Fira, where there are a plethora of hotels, studios, apartments, suites and rooms for rent.
