Red Beach - Greece

Prepare your bags for an unforgettable trip to red beach with BitBook.net!

All the beaches of Santorini are very beautiful, but the red beach has a special attraction.

This destination is one of the best places for those who want to relax and rest. 

The geological formations of the volcanic rocks shine above the crystalline waters of the sea, creating a delight for the eyes.

We recommend that you wear suitable footwear when you visit, no sandals, flip flops or open shoes, since the path that leads to the beach is steep.

However, the journey is worth it since you will arrive at one of the most impressive beaches you have ever seen and, although you will not be alone, since it is a very touristy place, the beauty of the landscape will compensate your effort and you will feel rewarded.

If you are interested in history, you can combine your visit to the red beach with the prehistoric ruins of Akrotiri, all in the same day.

The hike will take you around the cliff of the island's volcanic caldera. You will pass through the towns of Fira, Firostefani, Imerovigli and finally Oia.

It is advisable to go well equipped, remember to bring sunscreen, water and good shoes.

The ride takes around 2 to 5 hours depending on how fast you walk and how long you stop.

The section has an extension of approximately 10km. The path is varied, passing through cobbled areas and other dirt areas. In both directions you will find steep climbs.

The town of Oia is located in the north of the island, on a cliff. It is one of the most photographed places in all of Greece. Walking aimlessly through its labyrinthine streets will lead you to come across churches with blue domes and other characteristic constructions.

Watching the sunset in the town of Oia is one of the things that should be on your 'what to do in Santorini' list.

One of the cons of this beautiful town is that it is very touristy and, it does not matter if you are in season or not, it is constantly visited.

The prehistoric town of Akrotiri is Greek Pompeii, largely preserved due to a volcanic eruption.

The town, formerly inhabited by around 30,000 people, is one of the great archaeological centers in all of Greece.

The site is protected by a roof that covers the entire place since, although it can be visited, archaeologists continue to work in the area.

Santorini's volcanic eruption in the 16th century B.C. forced the inhabitants of Akrotiri to leave the village.

Many consider that Plato was inspired by this place for his famous story of Atlantis.

It is advisable to do the guided tour to better understand what we are seeing.

Santorini's forts and castles are open to the public. Skaros Rock is one of them.

It is located on the facade of the village of Imerovigli.

It is the remains of a castle that was destroyed during an earthquake in the 19th century.

Its function was to protect the aristocracy from pirate ships in the 16th century.

The walk does not have major difficulties, except for a climb of 300 steps, this being its most complicated part.
