5Santorini Has Unique Volcanic Beaches

Unlike the golden sand beaches found on other Greek islands, Santorini’s beaches are a direct result of its volcanic origins. The island boasts striking black, red, and white sand beaches.

Perissa and Kamari feature black volcanic sand, while Red Beach, near Akrotiri, is famous for its crimson-colored cliffs and pebbles. These natural wonders provide a stark contrast to the island’s bright white architecture and deep blue waters.
