Beach overall scores
White beach (South Aegean) is located outside the Akrotiri settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Santorini island and the correct question is not how to get to White beach, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
User reviews
"For the daring and proficient swimmers, with calm winds, lies a hidden gem of a beach waiting to be discovered. A smaller, yet even more picturesque beach can be reached by swimming through a cave passage from the neighboring western beach. This adventure promises to be an extraordinary experience."
Ethan Ralston.
"The beach is definitely worth checking out and the best part is that it's open to the public for free. I highly recommend a visit."
