About this audio guide
This guide to White Beach in Santorini follows the small open boats that are the only way in or out of this remote cove beneath bleached pumice cliffs near Akrotiri, run informally with no timetable and no pier. It traces a boatman's daily routine at the mercy of the caldera wind, and the volcanic history written in the pale cliffs above the dark pebble shore. A listening tip: catch it during the crossing itself, engine cut, before the boat reaches shore.
