Introduction
Santorini's Red Beach takes its name from the towering red volcanic cliffs that frame it, their iron-rich rocks glowing ochre and rust-purple in the sun. Fine red pebbles carpet the shore, a striking contrast to the deep blue Aegean. Reached on foot along a path or by boat, it is among the island's most photogenic spectacles — best visited at dawn or dusk to dodge the harsh midday sun and crowds.
