Best beaches inSantorini

Santorini sits on the rim of a collapsed volcanic caldera, giving it dramatic clifftops and distinctive black and red sand beaches with limited sheltered swimming options. The black-sand beaches at Perissa, Perivolos, and Kamari face south-east and absorb heat fast in summer. Ferries connect Santorini to Piraeus in about eight hours by conventional ferry or under five by high-speed.
