Perissa holidays – Enjoy a superb five-mile sandy beach
Perissa holidays are very much focused on its wonderfully long sandy beach which continues for around five miles to the south. In common with Kamira the beach here is of black sand so which gets hot so don’t forget your flip flops! Perissa holidays can enjoy some of the best watersports facilities on Santorini including waterskiing, jet skis, windsurfing, diving, sailing and snorkelling. Perissa beach is well organised and is simply vast, so there is plenty of space for everyone. The water is clean and clear. For a quieter beach and a further small selection of tavernas you can walk for 20 minutes along the fine coastline to the small resort of Perivolos backed by green cultivated farmland.

Perissa holidays should include a stroll to the nearby pretty village of Emporio for a glimpse of traditional Cyclades architecture. Other Perissa holiday walks could include the 19th century monastery of Perissa with its five-domed church. Holidays in Perissa are not complete without visiting other Santorini beauty spots like Oia, a fascinating jumble of narrow streets full of stone steps, terraces, courtyards, leafy squares, blue-domed churches and tastefully restored stone houses or Fira, the unique sparkling white capital in an astonishing cliffside location. Perissa is just nine miles from the extraordinary island capital Fira.
