Santorini: Akrotiri

After our lunch in Oia, we drove to Akrotiri Bay to enjoy our afternoon in the Red, White and Black Beaches.
On our arrival to Red Beach, we spotted this beautiful white chapel. Santorini is a very religious island, with many chapels, most of them private, as far as I heard.
In the photo, you see the tourists favorite means of transportation, ATV's, much easier to drive in the island due to the bad road conditions. Be careful when driving there especially because each road is a two way road. Also be aware that most of the time, when driving in the island, there are no protection rails, pedestrian crossings or sidewalks.

Red Beach's view is very pretty but if you wish to go there, you should wear proper shoes to cross the cliffs.Go slowly and carefully. What you see is what you get. Most of the way, there are no proper wood paths to cross nor handrails.

In spite of its impressive beauty, we decided to get the boat that had just arrived for the White and Black Beaches.Red B. was crowded and there was no space available to lay down and relax. 

For the same reasons, on our arrival to White Beach, we decided to try Black B. instead.

Smaller, with calm and transparent waters and not so many people, Black Beach was the right choice for us!

At 18:00 pm, was time to return to Red B. More boats available only in the following day.

This time, we could lay down and enjoy the beauty of the place. However, we didn't stay long, since we wanted to go to Akrotiri to watch the sunset, the same one in Oia, but in a more quiet way.
