About the Beach

Koloumbos is a wild and spectacular beach on the northeastern coast, known for the active underwater volcano located just offshore. It features dark grey sand, large pebbles, and dramatic cliffs that provide a sense of seclusion. The beach is a choice for nudists and those seeking a more private swimming experience, as it is one of the most remote on the island. The water is deep and can be warm in certain spots due to the volcanic activity beneath the surface. It is entirely unorganized with no facilities, so you must bring everything you need for the day. The northern winds can create powerful waves, so care is needed when swimming. The atmosphere is quiet and reflects the raw power of the nature. It is a destination for adventurers who want to experience the untamed side of Santorini. The cliffs are carved into unusual shapes by the elements.
