Itinerary description
Beware: do not enter the cave if you experience fear, if the waves are high, if the tide is too high or too low, and most importantly if you are not prepared for a one-hour swim in a row!
Entry on one side has been marked with "Cave"; entry on the other side is unmarked. Total swim inside the cave (beware of sharp stones!) is about 100 m, swim to first beach is about 20 minutes, from there to the "official white beach" is another half hour.
Please be careful and do not swim alone, and only if the sea is calm!
This swim shows you how to get to Santorini's White Beaches (the smaller one is more beautiful than the "usual" one not by boat but by swimming from a nearby beach accessible by car.
