RED BEACH – Santorini, Greece

During our very extended 2017 cruising tour through the Greek Islands, in some places we faced Problems, to find a good anchorage with enough depth (but not too much). One of these problematic spots was the Island of Santorini.

With a fixed draft of 3.50M (12 feet) most Marinas would not be able to berth our KER 63. Due to its volcanic background, Greece presents extreme deep waters, at a very short distance from the shore, at many of their beautiful islands

Going around the southern end of the Santorini, we finally found a very good anchorage in 18-20 metres of water at 036° 20.769 N, 025° 23.943E.

Going ashore here is a real pleasure, the Restaurant ‘The Dolphins’ does have a very nice dinghy dock, they are very friendly and helpful people and are happy to call you a cab to go into town.

For them it is without saying, that while you are away, they watch your boat and dinghy for you.

After our return from a beautiful day tour around the island, we had a tasty and very typical dinner at The Dolphins and in the end stayed more than two weeks at the same spot.
