One of the most dramatic and photogenic beaches in the world — accessible only by boat.
Red Beach is one of Santorini’s most spectacular natural landmarks — a captivating blend of rugged volcanic cliffs and crimson-hued sands that plunge dramatically into the crystal-clear Aegean Sea. Located near the ancient site of Akrotiri on Santorini’s southern coast, this iconic beach is best reached by boat.
The beach gets its striking colour from the red and black volcanic rock of the surrounding cliffs. The contrast between the deep red cliffs, the bright white of the salt crust, and the electric blue of the water is simply breathtaking — and unlike anything you’ll see anywhere else in Greece.
Swimming and snorkeling at Red Beach is a highlight of every cruise. The underwater landscape is as dramatic as the scenery above — volcanic rock formations, sea urchins, and an array of marine life make for excellent snorkeling. All snorkeling equipment is provided on board.
