The Red Beach is a unique combination of deep red volcanic rock and Aegean blue waters. Swim in the crystal clear waters and enjoy the beautiful scenery created by nature. The beach is near Akrotiri, eight kilometers from Fira. You will leave your means of transportation across the parking lot and follow a short path (the path ascends initially, offering spectacular views across the beach) until you reach the sea. The beach is organized and during the high season attracts a large number of visitors. The boats that make daily trips around the island include the Red Beach on their route. Even if you don’t have your own transportation, the area can be reached by local buses.
