Kokkini Beach

More of a beautiful unique beach than a place to relax or swim, it's accessible by boat or by bus from Fira with a short hike. No facilities really so bring your own things if you plan to stay!

The combination of flaming red rocks and turquoise sea is stunning from a vantage spot above the bay. If you want to head down to the beach, it's a bit of a scramble over the rocks. Once there, avoid sitting by the cliffs as there are regular landslides. The water is clear, but the approach is rocky.

The red beach is located in the southern section of santorini, myth general place, beautiful and special. There are large areas of red bare rock, rock rich in iron, therefore present a charming red, the sun appears more magic and brilliant. Vast scenery, beautiful, sunny weather is a leisure good place to swim.

Red Beach is a beach with a spectacular red rock cliff backdrop, and crystal clear blue waters. A spectacular place to take photos and many people love to swim here.

This incredibly beautiful beach is worth visiting for the scenery alone. Locals warned us that rock slides are frequent, but it sounds like most of the slides are confined to one end of the beach (you can easily tell which end by looking). As with many of the island's beaches, there are beach umbrellas for rent and the water is crystal clear.

I love how we had to hike up cliffs to get to this beach. It was truly a reward once we finally had the chance to sink our feet into the warm red sand!

Red Beach is very popular and best visited off-peak, but the red sand landscape is a special sight, not to be missed on a trip to Santorini.

Loved riding an ATV to Red Beach. An incredible view, but a crowded beach! The water was so clear, perfect for snorkeling.

Small beach popular with tourists. The beach sand on the floor itself is covered with hay to preserve the land, but the rocks surrounding it are really red. I also thought it was cool that the old doors were still in the mountain, apparently they're used for storage!
