The Red Beach is the definition of a volcano beach. Everything here is red: the imposing rocks as well as the alteration of sand and pebbles. It's a rather busy beach, island's visitors seem to prevail. The Red Beach has been officially judged unsuitable for visiting due to unpredictable landslides in the area. Those who visit it, do it under their own responsibility. Prefer to take the boat sailing from the beach of Perissa or from the bay of Akrotiri that will take to the White Beach as well.
