On the island’s southeast coast, 3 kilometres from Perissa, is Perivolos beach. A wonderfull endless beach, ideal when north winds are blowing, with a bit lighter sand than Perissa (dark grey). Ideal for lovers of beach bars and loud music; the fun starts at midday and goes on until the early hours of the morning.
Our Santorini Car Rental agency’s suggestion to the lovers of crowded places is to visit Perivolos, because it combines a “day club scene” with swimsuits, beach volley and various happenings. The beach has lifeguards, sunbeds and sunshades for hire, facilities for water sports and of course, beach bars where drinks flow easily. If you would like to go to Perivolos by car and have fun, we suggest a car like Fiat Doblo with 7 seats, for you and your friends.If you are a couple, you could rent a car like Smart Cabrio and you could visit the western side of the beach, which is more relaxing and far away from the crowd and the loud music.
Location: 3 km southeastern from Fira
Description: Perivolos is the longest black sand of Santorini. This is an organized tourist resort.

Some 500 m from the archaeological site of Akrotiri, in the southwest of the island, is Kokkini Ammos or Red Beach. Its name is taken from the unique colour of the surrounding rocks and cliffs, as well as the stunning black and red shingle covering its surface. The contrast between the red and black of the beach with the bright blue of the sea creates a magical setting.
Kokkini Ammos beach is not overcrowded and is preferred by people who love adventure and who are enchanted by the beautiful landscape. The beach is accessible only on foot, so a pair of shoes would be recommended. If you choose this beach for swimming and if you are an adventurous person, our Santorini Car Rental agency would recommend renting a car like Suzuki Jimny for going to the beach, and enjoying several off road trails on the island.
Location: 8 km southwestern from Fira
Description: The beach has taken its name (“Santorini’s red beach”) from the impressive red lava cliffs droping
to the sea and surrounding the beach.
What you must do in Red Beach:
- Visit the archaeological site in Akrotiri.

Kamari is one of the island’s most popular beaches and during the summer months it is flooded by numerous visitors. It is on the east side of the island, just 10 km from Fira, exactly opposite Perissa. Seemingly endless, the black volcanic sand perfectly contrasts the turquoise blue sea, creating a fantastic atmosphere.
With the magnificent Mesa Vouno mountain in the background, this well organised beach is the ideal place for a swim. The area offers a great landscape, especially at night, when the rock is floodlit. Due to the large crowds visiting Kamari, our Santorini Car Rental agency would recommend to rent a small and flexible car like the Hyundai i10, in order to move around easily and not get tired searching for a parking space.

Description: One of the most popular and crowded beaches of Santorini, Kamari is located at the
eastern part of Santorini island.

- Visit ancient Thira.
