Standing true to its name, the distinctive Red Beach features a remarkably imposing odd formation of red volcanic rock dramatically contrasting the magnificent blue of the sea – a truly unique sight to behold.

Relax at the Black sand beach of Perissa This is Santorini's widest and by far most popular beach. Step out of your car and make some feet n the actual sand to see how it is like walking in such a dry and volcanic enviorment.

Here is one of the most significant prehistoric settlements of the Aegean. Akrotiri had developed into a major city before it was covered in ash by volcanic eruptions. However, the ash has preserved structures and their contents allowing the visitor to marvel at this wonder of antiquity.

Oia, a place of unmatched beauty and tranquility.
