Paralia Monolithos — Attraction in Municipality of Thira

Monolithos,Santorini You could not see offen Monolithos in tourist advertisments and books but this place will take your heart at furst sight and this will be very"deep love".Monolithos beach reminds me for a fair tale:wide beach area,huge parking on the beach road,planty space for beach and water sports.Here you can breath.But the best of all is is the sand:fine,very fine black sand,even better then Perivolos ,which make you feel very comfortable at least.Monolithos is perfect for a family.I think is the best place to take your children to play there because the water is shallow and it is safe(there is an area before the small port where the water is only 10 cm. high.The place is not crowdy but there are enough markets and place to eat and drink.It is obligatory to visit greek restaurant "Captain Loise".The negatives for some people may be the closer distance of the thermal factory and the airport(some people don't like the sound...

Our daughter loved the beach so much that we went back again...

Nice clean beach that isn’t too crowded. Soft sand and shallow water that is nice for swimming. Lifeguard left around 17:00. Outdoor shower and changing stalls available. We were only staying for a couple of hours so didn’t need or want to pay for chairs or umbrella.
