Beautiful island with amazing places and views. I would suggest to go to spend great time site seeing or having excursions, not really to spend time on the beach.

Went to the two main centres of Santorini and the beaches. Without a car getting to the sites would have been incredibly difficult.

The beach at Perissa was amazing - the sea was so clear and the restaurants/ bars we visited along the beach were great too. Red beach was lovely as well, but go early because it got really busy by midday. We enjoyed wondering around Pyrgos and watched the sunset whilst having dinner at Franco's cafe which was pretty spectacular.

Rent a car if more than 2, otherwise rent a buggy, take your time. Go to oia, thera, akrotiri, perissa and enjoy the views.
