The beaches of Santorini, are quite different from other Greek islands. Due to the volcanic eruption that shaped the island to its present shape, the beaches are covered with black volcanic sand and pebbles. The most famous and organized beaches, are Perissa, Perivolos and Kamari. Along the beaches, you can find restaurants, tavernas, beach bars, water sport activities, umbrellas and sun beds. You can visit any of them and have a swim in the clear waters, or have your lunch in one of the restaurants by the sea
