Be sure to ask about the Black Sand Beaches:
The best way to know how great Santorini Beaches are is to visit the island and swim in all of them! This is not as difficult as it sounds since Santorini is not such a big island so it is easy to get from one place to another without getting tired as would be the case in Crete or Rhodes for example.
Kamari Beach is one of the most famous beaches of Santorini island mainly because of its black pebbles which became like that after the volcanic eruption. Don't be surprised if you find pumice as you are lying at the beach, take some pieces with you and scrub your feet! This is the best exfoliating material!
