The multicoloured volcanic cliffs
Firiplaka stretches along the south coast, with fine greyish sand and white pebbles beneath tall cliffs. What sets it apart is the colour of the rock: layers of red, pink, ochre and white, stained by sulphur, iron and manganese.
This is no accident: the beach lies on the rim of the Firiplaka volcanic crater, one of the youngest volcanic centres on the island. A perlite quarry works the slopes above it.
It is an organised beach, its turquoise water standing out against the dramatic volcanic backdrop.
