Visit the White Beach
White Beach (Akrotiri), which is hidden away on the southern side of Santorini and sits in the shadow of imposing white cliffs, is undoubtedly worth the detour off the usual path. Despite the fact that the sand is black, the name of this beach is derived from the surrounding white cliffs. The only means of transportation to this location is via boat, but if you don't mind a little adventure, you can enjoy a wonderful view of the beach.
This cove, which is close to Red Beach and is quieter and more isolated than its sister cove, which is more accessible, is worth combining with Red Beach for an afternoon of exploration.
To get to the viewpoint, you first have to drive down a very narrow, rough, unnamed dirt road. The road starts near the Aeolos Tavern and leads to Kambia Beach. Just past one small house, there is an unmarked trail that leads up and over a hill to a viewpoint of the White Beach. It’s a very short walk to the viewpoint (2 – 3 minutes). You can go farther for views up the coast to Red Beach.
On this tour, sail to White Beach and Red Beach by catamaran. The tour includes an open bar, a Greek meal, and a visit to the hot springs at Nea Kameni volcano.
