Tucked away south of Santorini’s port and close to the Akrotiri archaeological site is Red Beach. The red and black volcanic rocks alongside the deep blue Aegean Sea offer tourists a beautiful and un… Full review by Meli R

This was a pretty beach with vibrant red rock walls along it. When the sun reflected off the walls it was beautiful. We were the only people there. I have to admit I almost missed the full view. We d… Full review by SueFNP

Red Beach in Santorini is nature’s bold statement, where crimson cliffs meet deep blue waters in a scene that feels straight out of a painting. This dramatic, rust-red shoreline isn’t just a beach—it… Full review by francesf240
Where should I rent a car once in Santorini ? At the airport or Oia where I am staying? We are 5 and bringing big suitcases each . Not sure how we will fit them in a car unless it is van but will it be hard to drive ? Are streets narrow ?
A:
Hiring from the airport is easier as it saves the initial transfer costs. The roads are very easy to navigate and are not busy. I'd try to hire before you fly as it saves time on landing.
I am planning to go to Red Beach in late August. Just wanting to take some nice photos, not walk the beach itself. Can anyone tell me what time of day you get the best light so the beach id really red in your photos? Also if you know of a great vantage point, I'd love to hear it. Thanks :)

We went in a dinner cruise and we stopped at Red Beach to swim and just hang out , that was around 4:30 and the sun was hitting just beautifully. You could see all the layers in the rock with the reds showing off more. We were about 30 yds off the beach in a Cattamran so I think was the best way to see it. Plus the water is so clear. There are many more beautiful rock formations in the water as well.
How to get here from Oia? Which bus, timetable and price? anyone has this kind of information? thank you
A:

There are no buses that run directly from one side of Santorini to the other. Fira or Thira is Santorini’s main city, and home to the central bus station. Buses run to and from Fira to all popular destinations including: Akrotiri (Red Beach) and Oia. The island is not big so all the journeys are around an hour. All the transfers are done in Fira as is the main hub and every bus passes through it at some point. From Oia to the Red Beach, you will have to take the bus to Fira first then from there take the bus to Akrotiri. Public bus transportation is called KTEL and below is the link where you can find the prices and the timetables to and from all served destinations. Price are stated as 1.80 euro from Oia to Fira and 2 euro from Fira to Akrotiri Beach but might be different as the site last update was June 2016. ktel-santorini.gr
