Santorini Beaches Guide | From Kamari to the Red Beach
Staying at Aqualung Suites puts you at the heart of Santorini’s beach life. The island’s coastline is a unique tapestry of volcanic colors—black, red and white. Unlike any other Mediterranean destination, our beaches offer a dramatic landscape and crystal-clear Aegean waters, with Kamari Beach being just a 3-minute walk (300m) from our suites.
Top Santorini Beaches & Accessibility:
- Kamari Black Sand Beach (300m | 3-min walk): The most organized beach in Santorini, located right at your doorstep. Known for its deep blue waters and jet-black volcanic pebbles. It features a lively promenade with tavernas, water sports and diving centers, all under the shadow of the impressive Mesa Vouno mountain.
- Perissa & Perivolos Beach (15-min drive): An extension of the black sand coastline, offering a more high-energy vibe with famous beach bars and extensive lounge areas. Ideal for those seeking a vibrant day-to-night beach experience.
- The Red Beach (Akrotiri – 25-min drive): One of the most photographed spots in the world. Famous for its towering crimson volcanic cliffs and dark blue sea. Accessible by a short hike or a water taxi from Akrotiri port.
- Monolithos Beach (10-min drive): A quieter, shallow-water beach with fine black sand, preferred by families for its calm atmosphere and proximity to the airport.
