Santorini
Red Beach near Akrotiri gets its color from iron-rich volcanic rock, creating a striking contrast between red cliffs, dark sand, and blue water.
Santorini
Santorini’s most famous villages, like Oia and Fira, sit on the rim of a volcanic caldera, which is why many hotels have dramatic “cliffside” views over the Aegean.
