Red Beach Santorini probably the most famous beach according to most tourists who have been to Santorini (Greece), and the most beautiful beach on the island.
Red sand Beach Santorini is located about twelve kilometers from the island capital of Fira, not far from the excavation of the ancient city of Akrotiri, and the modern village of the same name.
We got to Red Beach Santorini by rented car, but it is possible to get by bus from Fira to the village Akrotiri.
The beach itself is not very large and has not a very wide shoreline, a maximum of ten meters, but it is about five hundred meters long. In my opinion, it is not quite suitable for a comfortable beach holiday, but the entrance to the sea is quite steep.
Infrastructure on the beach we did not find any, even a toilet is not present :-(.
From service, only this grandfather selling something not known :-)
But the rock has caves, outside closed, mounted in the rock door, who dug them, how they appeared, and why they are needed here? I have no answer to that. The only suggestion that these "caves" as a local fishermen use, but maybe it is a kind of "garages" for boats ....
In conclusion I want to say that the red beach is certainly beautiful and unique.
But in my opinion it is worth to visit it with the excursion just to admire the beautiful views.
But it is not worth going there with the purpose, "to sunbathe.
