About the Beach

Agia Paraskevi is a quiet and sandy beach located on the eastern coast of Santorini, near the airport. It features dark volcanic sand and clear blue water that is usually calm because the bay is protected from the winds. The beach is partially organized with a few sunbeds and is surrounded by some small hotels and tavernas. It offers a more relaxed atmosphere compared to the busier resort beaches of the south. The water is shallow near the shore, making it an inviting place for a soak. It is a destination for those who want a simple beach day with facilities within reach. The surrounding area is flat and rural, providing a simple backdrop to the sea. The entry into the water is easy for most swimmers. It is a part of the coast that is useful and still offers the beauty of the Aegean without the intense crowds found elsewhere. The proximity to the airport makes it a unique spot to watch planes while enjoying the rhythmic sound of the waves on the dark shore.
