The Municipality of Santorini informs all visitors to the island that the risk level of landslides onto Red Beach from the towering cliffs above is high!

A recent survey concluded that the cliffs are unstable and pose a serious danger to beach-goers below.

Thankfully, a recent landslide occurred at night, but if it had been during the day, it would likely have resulted in injuries and loss of life.

There is therefore an official ban on visiting the beach for the foreseeable future.

Red Beach is located on the southern coast of the island.
