Description
A small secluded cove on the southwestern coast near Akrotiri, White Beach is framed by tall, dramatic white cliffs that give the place its name. Though the cliffs are pale, the shore consists of pebbles and grey/black volcanic sand, creating a striking contrast with the turquoise sea. The waters are clear and shallow close to shore, perfect for swimming and snorkeling. Because it’s secluded, it's more peaceful than many of the more popular Santorini beaches.
