Koloumpos Beach

  Koloumpos Beach sits on the northern coast of Santorini (Thira), just a short drive from the village of Oia. This unique beach is renowned for its volcanic black sand, a reminder of the island's geological history dating back to the ancient eruption of 1600 BC. Offering a tranquil escape from more crowded areas, Koloumpos Beach provides visitors with a serene atmosphere perfect for sunbathing and swimming in crystal-clear waters. The beach is accessible year-round, but it's particularly inviting from May to October when the weather is warmest. Along the shoreline, you can spot sunbeds, umbrellas, and a few local tavernas where you can enjoy fresh seafood while taking in views of the azure Aegean Sea.
