Akrotiri Red beach

Not far from the ancient sites at Akrotiri, is the red beach with the same name. You couldn't ask for a more breathtaking setting for a swim. Soaring red lava cliffs which drop right to the black sandy shore and into the clear blue sea make for a majestic setting and one to enjoy. Meals and snacks can be gotten at a nearby hotel and if you fancy, boats leave from Akrotiri to other beaches further down the southwest coast.
