Things To Do
Beachside Stories 

 Experience the sun-kissed paradise that is Perivolos Beach! Get your adrenaline pumping on the dazzling Aegean waves while jet-skiing or doing a paddleboard ballet. Enjoy a leisurely walk along the bustling shoreline, where colourful umbrellas make up for a very vibrant picture for the gram and dance to the tunes at beach clubs that host boisterous parties that you can pop into.  After a day basking in the sun, we recommend indulging in a legendary Mediterranean feast at one of the seaside taverns to complete your experience.

Shopping Therapy

Explore Perivolos, the sun-soaked retail appetizer, which offers a handful of shops and craft havens for your island essentials and souvenir swoops. But hold onto your sunhat, because the real shopping fiesta kicks off in Thira—just a breezy 9-mile bus ride away! Walk the narrow, cobbled streets dressed in retail finds, where every step is a souvenir wanderlust of clothes, leather treasures, and handmade delights. And for the icing on the retail cake, head to the top near the church, where a dazzling array of jeweller's awaits, turning your shopping spree into a Santorini-style treasure hunt.

Take The Cable Car

Buckle up for a 10-minute joyride to Thira, the capital that's Santorini's star on wheels! Discover the cliffside city where whitewashed buildings play mountain goats, and the town's cable car is your magic carpet up and down the scenic slopes. The Archaeological Museum is a time-travel capsule filled with Minoan mysteries from Akrotiti, turning history into a cosmic puzzle. As the sun dips, the tourist hustle takes a snooze, and Theotokopoulou Square transforms into Santorini's social hub. Locals, armed with Boutari red elixirs, turn the square into a twilight playground of laughter, stories, and a touch of Aegean magic. 

Take A Detour

Pack your sunnies and let’s roll — it’s a day-trip bonanza from Perivolos to the vibrant Kamari! Hop on the Aegean adventure bus for a journey of 3 Km that is going to be packed with fun! Our top tip is to keep your camera ready because the views are a cinematic panorama. Once you reach Kamari, make a bee line for the beach and check out the black sands that are truly unreal! Dive into the azure abyss, conquer the volcanic vibe, and let the sun be your spotlight. Stroll the beachfront boulevard and snag some souvenirs with a touch of Kamari sass!  

Island Hop  

Grab your explorer's hat and let's teleport from Perivolos to the charming Emporio – a typical whitewashed village located south of the island of Santorini. Explore a maze of medieval alleys where every turn is graced with history. Your mission? Conquer ancient stone forts, encounter locals, and snap selfies with bougainvillea-clad doorways that are practically begging for a cameo in your travel album. Emporio isn't just a city; it's literally a time capsule where centuries play hide-and-seek. The highlight of this village is the windmills, which are similar to those at Consuegra in Toledo.
