Water fun & Cool Retreats

The Red Sand Beach is a must-see attraction when traveling to Santorini, because no matter whether you are taking a leisurely self-guided tour or a group tour, the bus will definitely pass by here during the day. People usually take pictures on the mountain and will not go down to the beach.

From the perspective of taking photos, the best place to view the red sand beach is two or three hundred meters forward from where a large number of tour buses are parked. The red mountain cliffs stand tall, and some tourists on the beach are far away from us, forming the background of our picture.

The red ore accumulated by volcanic eruptions is eroded by sea water to form large tracts of red bare rock. The rock should be rich in iron material, so it presents a charming red color, which becomes more magical and dazzling under the sunlight.

The mountains of Santorini&#39;s Red Beach are red, which makes the sand and gravel in this bay very large and red, a very strange scenery. The color of the bay is also very blue and clear. There are colorful corals under the sea here, which is also a diving paradise.

The red sand beach of Santorini is a good place to sunbathe if you have time. Because the sand is dark, it is very hot under the sun, even burning your feet, so it is best to prepare a pair of beach shoes.
There are many restaurants next to the beach. We chose one and ordered pita bread, fries, steak and beer.
The beach is free to rest, as long as you order some food. From time to time, there will be planes flying over your head, so low.
From Athens to Santorini, you can choose to fly, speedboat and ordinary boat. The best time to travel: April-September.
