Red beach, at Akrotiri.

Red Beach is very popular, despite its difficulty to access. You can drive here and scramble down the cliffside or walk or take a water taxi from nearby Akrotiri.

It is known as Kokkini Ammos (Red Beach) in Greek because of its red pebbles and dramatic red lava cliffs thrusting upwards from the crystal clear water. There are sunbeds and sun umbrellas for hire along the beach. Red Beach is quite small so can get quite crowded.

The sand itself gets incredibly hot in summer and is course and reddish black in colour, so you will need to wear flip flops.
Snorkelling is good around the rocky outcrops of Red Beach too.
