Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Ammoudi beach (Santorini island) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Ammoudi beach (Santorini island) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Ammoudi beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

During our day trip to Oia, we decided to check out this beach. It was a fantastic spot to explore, but be warned, there are some dangerous areas. The descent to the beach was enjoyable, but the ascent up the stairs was quite steep. Don't forget to bring plenty of water! We strolled along the cliffs and found a small cove where people were swimming and diving off a cliff. However, please be cautious as there are some hazardous spots. Additionally, there are several excellent dining options in the vicinity.

The path to the beach is quite challenging and requires appropriate footwear. I suggest wearing sports shoes instead of flip-flops. The incline is manageable on the way down, but it can be quite strenuous on the way back up. You'll need either a vehicle or a lot of endurance. The scenery is stunning and definitely worth the trek, but I wouldn't recommend swimming or taking a dip.

There is a somewhat challenging trail that leads to a secluded swimming area around the cliff. The spot is located approximately 10 minutes away from the restaurants at the bay and offers a serene atmosphere. Additionally, you can take a swim to a nearby island that houses a church and a diving platform.
