Red, White and Black (8/18/12)

Yesterday I learned about the black, red and white beaches of Santorini.  Three of the most popular beaches for tourists and locals alike these beaches provide three different experience of Greek paradise.

The white beach is the most secluded of the three.  It is accessible only by boat, with small ferries running there several times a day.

The red beach is so named for the red colored cliffs that climb skyward from it.  The red beach is fairly secluded and requires visitors to climb a steep, rocky path to reach it.  This climb deters few as it is a very popular destination.

Finally the black beach gets its name from the black sand of its beaches.  This sand is a result of the volcanic eruption thousands of years ago and is a stark contrast to the bright blue water.

All three provide visitors with an amazing beach-going experience that won't soon be forgotten.
