Things To Do
Black Sand Extravaganza!

Head to Perissa Beach, where the sand is as black as midnight and the vibe is pure island bliss! This is not just a beach; it's a volcanic playground where sun worshippers and water adventurers unite. Imagine yourself in a beachfront cabana, sipping on cocktails served with a side of laughter. After a day at the beach, relax and have a meal at one of the beachfront tavernas where they turn fresh catches into taste explosions. So, don your sunglasses, prepare to have your toes tickled by the black sand, and get ready for sun, sea and black sand at the Perissa party! 

Ancient Escapade

Dive into Ancient Thera in Kamari which is 9 miles away from Perissa by car.  It is where history unfolds, first on the list, explore the jaw-dropping theatre, where ancient dramas echo then head to the Agora, a marketplace where togas meet trends that offers retail therapy through time. We recommend visiting Poseidon's grand entrance, marked by the Nymphaeum for the ultimate Instagram pic! 

Sail Into Santorini’s Heartbeat

Go on a maritime voyage by taking a boat tour in Perissa, where the Aegean Sea whispers tales of adventure. Climb aboard and cruise along Santorini's coastline, revealing hidden coves, volcanic wonders, and legendary hot springs. Dive into the clear water and feel refreshed. We recommend taking a break and hopping off to explore the quaint fishing villages that dot the coastline and indulge in some local fares.

Happy Hiking

Go on the ultimate uphill escapade to Mesa Vouno! This trail unveils Santorini’s volcanic wonder. Let the trail become a stage for nature's theatrical performance. Make sure you strike a pose amid ancient ruins, where selfie moments merge with centuries-old whispers. Pause for panoramic picnics and channel your inner explorer amidst the cacti and vibrant wildflowers, adding a burst of colour to your ascent. At the summit, don’t forget to celebrate with a victorious selfie. Mesa Vouno isn't just a hike; it's a Santorini summit soiree!
