Esa Pigadia village in Santorini with sunset view

Mesa Pigadia

Mesa Pigadia beach in Santorini is one of the isolated beaches of the island and is located around Akrotiri village, along with the famous Red beach and White beach. Like most regional beaches, it is surrounded by beautiful cliffs. It boasts black pebbles and beautiful crystal-clear waters. Rocks and urchins are part of the seabed, so bringing a pair of water shoes with you is recommended. The beach is accessible by boat or by dirt road. It is ideal for relaxation and taking a break from crowded beaches and villages. A traditional restaurant lies on the shore and offers sunbeds and sun umbrellas, as well as local dishes at affordable prices.

Mesa Pigadia: Where Santorini Feels Peaceful and Private

Most Santorini beaches are famous for their colors. Red Beach, Black Beach. Mesa Pigadia Beach is different. It is not about dramatic colors. It is about quiet. This small cove feels hidden, a place to just listen to the water.

What Makes Mesa Pigadia Special

You find it near Kamari. The walk down is part of the adventure. It feels like a small discovery. The pebbles are mellow to the feet. The water is that much-marvellous Aegean blue, so clear you can see in. It is never crowded. You get space. You get peace. This is the real charm of Mesa Pigadia Beach, Santorini.

Your Day at the Beach

There are a few sunbeds. It is good to have some cash for this. There is no big restaurant, just a simple canteen for a cold drink or a snack. Bring your water and maybe a book. The vibe is pure relaxation. It is the spot to escape the busier, more famous beaches.

At Essence Tours, we love showing you the Santorini that feels like a local secret, not just a postcard. Let us help you find it.
