What Caldera Beach lacks in amenities, it makes up for with stunning vistas and a peaceful environment. Located a steep walk away from the main drag, this secluded cove boasts pristine blue waters and striking black sand. Relax in the shade of a tree or try out some of the area's superb snorkeling. It is a good idea to bring drinks with you, but a nearby restaurant can provide snacks and traditional Greek meals. Pack your camera to capture the view of the volcano.

Lovely unspoilt beach. No umbrellas or sun beds, just people relaxing reading and swimming. Perfect. Quite rocky in places but also sandy areas under trees.

We only wish we had visited earlier in our holiday, amazing beach. A lovely clean sandy beach with easy access for swimmers. We have visited all the beaches on the south east, west coast and preferred this beach. Also a friendly taverner to eat lunch. No parasols or loungers but happy to relax on the lovely volcanic sand.

By far my favorite beach in Santorini so far. It’s accessible by car (it’s a steep drive down but you can do it). One side has fishing boats and a scuba diving stand, but if you walk to the right then it’s a beautiful black-red sand beach with plenty of shade (or sun, if you want to sunbathe!) You can cliff dive at the end if the waves aren’t too high. Keep hiking up and around for more and more amazing views.
