Where to Eat 🍽

There are no restaurants at White Beach itself besides a small cantina serving light snacks and drinks. Visitors should pack food and plenty of water for a day at this remote beach. The nearest dining options are back in town once you return by boat.

Where to Stay 🏨

Since White Beach is only accessible by boat, there are no hotels located directly on the beach. Visitors usually stay in Fira, Oia, or other towns and take a taxi boat for the day. Some good accommodation options include:

Astra Suites (Fira) – Charming cave hotel with caldera views and excellent service. Located just a few minutes from the taxi boat launch.

Mylos Boutique Hotel (Firostefani) – Quiet boutique hotel with pool. Well-located for taking boats to White Beach and island cruises.

Sunrise Villas (Imerovigli) – Great value villas with sensational views of the caldera and volcano. About 10-15 minutes drive to the port.

Parking 🅿

There are no parking facilities at remote White Beach itself. Visitors arrive by taxi boats from ports like Ammoudi Bay in Oia or the new port at Fira. Parking is available at both ports for a daily fee.
