White Beach
A secluded cove of pale cliffs and pebbles near Akrotiri, reachable only by boat or a short clamber from Red Beach.
The call
Worth it if you are watching the budget and you are traveling as a couple.
Why
- 01
A pretty, sheltered swim spot that feels like a reward because you can't easily drive to it — most people arrive by water taxi or on a cruise stop.
Our read - 02
The catch is precisely that access: no road, limited shade, and it's small enough to fill quickly when boats unload.
