Ugly beach on Santorini island


Oia on Santorini island is a place for rich people. For those who will give unrealistic amounts of money for lodging, lunch, private pool, and sunset view with a glass of champagne in their hands.

And that view is all worth seeing on this island.



Almost no one goes swimming in the sea here. There are two beaches, but you can't go there without a car or motorbike. Certainly not without great sacrifice. 

If you are an enthusiast, you can choose to walk a few kilometers throughout a terrible, dirty desert, while exposing to an awful heat. Believe it or not, there are no plants on this side of Santorini. In fact, there is nothing around except dirt and bared stones.

After coming to the end of the road, you will need to walk a horrible stony path for more than ten minutes. It is a place where you will realize that a volcano is nothing else but a synonym for a thousand shades of black.

The beach is a dirty, dusty slab of stone, approximately 20 to 30 meters long. There is no access to the sea except over one slippery rock. Older and disabled people won't be able to reach the water at all. 

Plus, the wind blows without mercy, the water is cold, and you will have the impression of swimming backward because of the strong water current.

The millions of people dream about this Greek island. I was there. It is not worth dreaming.
