Baxedes

Description

Baxedes is the main beach at the north part of the island in Santorini Greece. It is located next to the famous village of Oia (3 klm far from Oia). Baxedes is a peaceful place closer the what Santorini was before tourists discovered the island and offers an excelent beach with black sand and shade, ideal for those liking to avoid big crowds. Actually, Baxedes is surrounded by many beaches such as Paradise or Cape Columbo. There are some accommodation options here (a couple of hotels) and some tavernas. Due to its location the beach is affected by the summer northern winds (meltemia) and it is not the best choise when the north wind is blowing. Access is possible by rented or private car and motorbike.
