Baxedes Beach is the closest beach to Oia and is just a 5-minute drive away. It is a quiet, unorganized beach with dark volcanic sand and pebbles, ideal for those looking for relaxation away from the crowds. It does not have a beach bar or umbrellas, so it is good to be prepared with the essentials.

The beach stretches along the northern coast of the island and is known for its wild, unpretentious beauty. The rocks that surround it create a picturesque, almost secluded bay, while its waters are clear and usually calm, although sometimes windy due to its location. The landscape is more reminiscent of natural charm than a tourist attraction.

It is ideal for those who want to enjoy a peaceful swim, read or take a walk on the coast. The sunset from the beach offers a magical light on the volcanic landscape. Although it does not have many infrastructures, its authenticity and proximity to Oia make it ideal for short getaways.
