"Santorini's Red Beach is one of the most unique beaches in Greece . The stretch of pebbly sand is surrounded by high, bright-red cliffs. It's not one of the most popular beaches on the island for sunbathing, but it's still worth a visit. A short walk from the Akrotiri archaeological site will take you directly here."

Red beach is nice to visit for its red cliffs and volcanic sands, you need to walk little far after getting down from bus, but the view is worth. And it will be too much dust and wind so good to wear sunglasses and masks

Lovely red beach. Quite small so might get a bit crowded. There's a bar/shop nearby which is convenient. Please note that you got to hike to get to the beach. The path is rocky/dusty so I'd not recommend sandals etc.

I visited Red Beach during the off-season, and it was wonderfully quiet and peaceful. The dramatic red cliffs and turquoise waters were breathtaking. However, getting down to the beach is quite hazardous, with uneven paths and loose rocks, so caution is essential.

Red Beach in Santorini is a strikingly unique destination due to its dramatic red cliffs and the volcanic sand that gives the beach its name. Nestled beneath towering rock formations, the beach is visually stunning and offers a sense of seclusion. However, the access path to the beach can be challenging, involving a rocky trail that might not suit everyone. Despite its beauty, the area is often crowded, and facilities are minimal, so it’s best to bring your own supplies. If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind photo opportunity, Red Beach is a must-visit, but don’t expect a luxurious beach day experience.

Very beautiful beach with red, black, and some white pebbles formations. Mostly red though. Many tourists get here on bus, so it will be crowded at time. Pathcto this beach is medium hard, so prepare to hike with you closed shoe toe. The beach is nice and pretty, but so many trash are there too. Beware of dogs poop.

My recommendation is to go from the other side, not from the Museum side... you will have restaurants close and a parking lot. From the museum side, it was beautiful the view, and I liked it, but for the beach itself I recommend from the other side as mentioned above.

Went to this beach for the day sunbeds 15 to 20 euros or you can just lay your towel on the sand for free very rocky in the water need water shoes 👞 and alot of little bits of seaweed. But nice views of the red cliffs. The little restaurant is nice with good views. We had a nice day here. It is a little walk to get down to the beach and a little tricky at times so if you have trouble walking I would give it a miss as it is harder on the way back to the car...

Off the beaten path, a lovely secluded beach. Rocky and very unique in color. A great spot to visit for some quiet time.
