Red beach
The most impressive work of art created by the volcano is obviously the Red Beach. It is the most popular among the beaches of the island. It is located in the southeastern part of the island, in the area of Akrotiri, approximately 8 km from Fira. The teacher's sand is composed of black and red pulverized volcanic rock. The nature itself continues to transform this artwork, as the salt, the sun, the rain water and the wind still mold the impressive cliffs and constantly give them new shapes. To reach the beach you have to walk a couple of minutes on a downhill path or you can access it by boat from Akrotiri port, Kamari or Perissa. The island's authorities have issued a banning Directive for attending the beach years ago, due to the frequent landslides and whoever decides to visit the beach does so of his own responsibility. Don't miss this incomparable landscape!!
