The southern tip of Santorini is home to Exomitis Beach, a peaceful and secluded beach far from the bustle of the rest of the island.
It is well-known for its calming charm and the natural beauty it promotes; it is the ideal haven for anyone looking to unwind on Santorini's striking black sand beaches.
The peaceful allure of Exomitis Beach
Exomitis Beach is a section of the island's black sand shoreline that extends for about 3.5 kilometers making it Santorini's southernmost tip. Exomitis is still the quietest beach, which makes it a great choice for people looking for a more tranquil, isolated getaway, even though beaches like Perivolos and Agios Georgios typically attract more tourists.
A quiet village at the edge of Santorini
The beach belongs to the village of Exomitis, also historically known as ''Eximiti''. The little, peaceful village, is located close to the well-known Vlychada. This village is also famous for its picturesque marina. Additionally, Fira, the island's capital, is roughly 12 kilometers away and provides easy access to Exomitis.
From Perissa to Exomitis, the entire southeast coast of Santorini is actually one long stretch of black sand beach. While certain areas, like Exomitis provide a more secluded experience for those seeking a peaceful day at the sea, other areas are quite active, featuring sun loungers and umbrellas.
Accessibility and scenic exploration of Exomitis Beach and its surroundings
Approaching this beach is easy by car, bike, or even on foot. It would just take ten minutes to walk there directly if you were to stay in the area of Agios Georgios.
Even though this place is quiet, there are plenty of activities and sights nearby. While the neighboring Akrotiri lighthouse offers a stunning perspective of the island's southwest part. The Akrotiri archaeological site is unquestionably a must-see for any traveler to Santorini. All of this gives this already tranquil location an additional dimension of cultural and historical venue.
Why visit Exomitis Beach
For travelers looking for a peaceful, isolated beach in Santorini, this place is ideal. It is truly a hidden gem on the island as it is harmonious, easily accessible and close to other points of interest.
Exomitis has something unique to offer for all types of explorers, whether they want to sunbathe, explore ancient history or just relax by the sea.
