The Lighthouse is built right above a small building with whitewashed walls, which used to be the house of the warden, who was taking care of it during the first years that it was operating and it reaches up to 10 meters in height.
Today, it is still operational as it emits a bright white light over the sea every 10 seconds and still contributes to the protection of the traveling boats.
Why Choose Us on
Santorini cruise
There are a few reasons for choosing a Santorini sailing semi-private tour. First and foremost, for budget travelers, it presents an option that is more affordable, as it keeps the costs of the cruise down. Santorini, while beautiful, is also somewhat expensive, so there is no shame in wanting to trim down on the excesses where you see the opportunity. For solo travelers, for couples, small families and small groups of friends who want to save some money while not compromising on the sailing experience, our semi-private option is certainly an appealing alternative.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you swim at Red Beach from the boat?
Yes — it is the first swim and snorkel stop out of Vlychada Marina. The water over the volcanic reef shifts from deep blue to turquoise, and the iron-red cliffs do the rest.
Is arriving by sea better than the footpath?
The cliff path above Red Beach is periodically restricted after rockfalls, and it is always crowded in season. From the water you skip the scramble entirely and see the amphitheatre of red rock the way it composes best.
What makes the beach red?
Iron-rich lava. The cliffs are the eroded flank of an old volcanic cone, oxidised to rust, and they stain the sand the same colour.
Which cruises stop here?
All of them — Red Beach opens the caldera loop on the morning, sunset and private sailings alike, weather permitting.
The caldera is waiting.
