    Santorini Beach for June 

    White Beach

    A summer holiday to Santorini isn't complete without spending a day at the beach. White Beach can only be reached by a short boat ride from Red Beach, making it a lot quieter and more serene than many of the other beaches on the island.

    The small stretch of sand slopes into clean and clear waters which are perfect for swimming, snorkelling and scuba diving just keep an eye out for the excursion boats.

Whilst the sea is calm most of the time, the waves can sometimes get a bit choppy, so make sure you exercise caution whilst swimming.
