Hot springs is called a location at Palia Kameni (old burnt), one of the two volcanic islands in the middle of Santorini Caldera. The water there has a temperature of about 33 Celcius and it contains sulfur that is good for the skin.The White Beach is the most particular of all the beaches of Santorini. It is located in the southeastern part of the island, in the area of ​​Akrotiri, 14 km south of Fira and very close to the famous and spectacular Red Beach. On White beach, which the locals often call White Sand (Aspri Ammos), the thing that sets it apart is exactly what gave it its name: the white color, which contrasts with the dark, reddish or ocher tones encountered on other shores.

The beach has fine black sand, clear blue water, and a canteen, which operates from an undercut cavern house, – a building in the rock, according to the traditional Santorini architecture that takes full advantage of the properties of volcanic rocks. From this canteen visitors can purchase water and other beverages and snacks, as well as umbrellas and sun loungers – there is no natural shade on the beach.Red Beach is without a doubt worth a visit considering that it is a rare sight, probably unique in the whole world, where red is the dominant color. It is enclosed by steep red hills that create a captivating, wild scenery. If you stand on the top you will set eyes on enormous volcanic rocks situated in the sea, small pebbles and sand of various colors, mainly red, all along the beach and appealing dark blue waters. This wonderful palette of contrasting colors will mesmerize you. Another natural marvel the volcano created.
