The kids will sleep soundly after playing by the water at White Beach. Hunt for cute critters like crabs and snails, stick a toe in the water or throw a ball around!

When you've spent a bit of time at this Santorini stretch of coastline, why not make your way to Red Beach, Museum of Prehistoric Thira, and Archaeological Museum of Thera? They're close to White Beach and also a hit with tourists.

Ten euros to sit on a very very rocky beach and ten euro to take a boat to the white beach. If you don't have wet shoes DONT GO, you will get hurt. You can't swim since it's soooooooo rocky and the water is so rough.
