Directions

Get ready for a truly otherworldly sight at Red Beach, one of our most dramatic coastal landscapes. Tucked away near the Akrotiri archaeological site, its towering, rust-red cliffs plunge into the brilliant turquoise Aegean, creating a stunning color contrast you won't forget. To reach the shore, you'll take a short, rocky path for about 10 minutes from the car park, which only adds to the feeling of discovering a hidden gem. It's a perfect spot for snorkeling or simply soaking in the wild, volcanic beauty that makes this island so unique.

How to reach :

Take a bus no. 18 from Fira main bus stop in 2.2 euro. This bus will directly take you to red beach. A small hike and you will see the most unique beach in the world .

Once you are done with the beach, take a half an hour hike to Akoritiri village and lighthouse for the iconic sunset. Dont forget the last bus runs at 8 PM so if you are relying on public transport then plan ahead.
