Aspri Paralia

Aspri Paralia is a picturesque beach located in Santorini, known for its smooth sand that extends even into the water. The beach is characterized by its privacy, with only a limited number of people present at any given time. This is largely due to its unique accessibility - the beach can only be reached by boat. Regular boats from the nearby Red Beach offer transport to Aspri Paralia. However, visitors should note that the boat stops near, but not directly at the shore, requiring a short wade through approximately one meter of water to reach the beach. One of the standout natural features of Aspri Paralia is its large rocks, which house mini caves. These not only make for great photo opportunities, but also offer a unique swimming experience. For the adventurous, there is the option to swim through a cave passage from a nearby western beach to reach Aspri Paralia and a smaller, even more secluded beach. In terms of amenities, Aspri Paralia offers sun chairs and shades for visitors to use. However, there are no food or drink facilities on the beach, so visitors are advised to bring their own refreshments. There is no mention of parking facilities, likely due to the beach's boat-only access.
