Santorini was for me a bit of a disappointment, just a postcard with too much tourism inside. The beaches are not abundant, and not easy to reach. I only found some curiosity at the Red beach. The red beach is one of the most famous and beautiful of the beaches ofthe island. It is located near the village and ancient site. Because it is smallish, the red beach gets quite busy. A number of people come onto the headland just to admire this beach and never make it down to the hot sand. The reason why it attracts so many people is because of the slabs of red and black volcanic rocks behind it. Indeed one walks from the car park over a rocky route before it comes into view. If you look along the rock you can see it gradually turn white and the next beach obtains its name from this. The sand itself is reddish black and painful to sit straight onto. There are thus a lot of sun loungers and shades. Just in front of the clear water is a corridor of large pebbles. You find on this beach that the sun seems to beat down particularly strong. The snorkeling is good here due to the interesting rocks.
This place is only accessible by car and then by walking from the lot. It can also be reached by the sea, with caiques (small fishing boats which are used during the summer for transportation) that depart from the ports of Akrotiri and Fira. Just a funny place!
