Vlichada Beach

  Vlichada Beach sits on the southern coast of Santorini (Thira), next to the charming village of Vlichada. This unique beach is notable for its picturesque volcanic cliffs and the presence of an ancient marina that dates back to the 17th century. Predominantly a sunbathing and swimming destination, Vlichada Beach is characterized by its striking black and grey sand, making it distinct from the island's typical white sandy shores. Visitors to the beach can enjoy a swim in the Aegean Sea during the warm summer months, particularly from June to September, when the weather is most inviting. While you're there, keep an eye out for local beach bars and restaurants that offer fresh seafood and stunning views of the cliffs.
