Very long beach with options for everyone, equipped with sunbed and umbrella (paying only for drinks) or free with partially tree-lined stretches close to the road. Found real black sand with tiny pebbles, not pebbles, mountain side. A little too much noise for my tastes (loud music from the clubs) and it's the beginning of June... Fresh and transparent water.

Beautiful black sand beach. The beach itself is pretty rocky and the sand gets very hot under the midday sun. I recommend having water shoes/ sandals to walk around in. Great time with family there.

Great place to stay, went back and forth deciding whether to stay on the east side of Santorini(caldera side) or the west side & decided on an airb&b on Perissa beach. Best decision!! Beautiful beach with lots of shops & restaurants. We took the bus to the towns we wanted to visit which was easy and cheap! There were small markets to buy food to make breakfast each morning before heading out. We did a sunset cruise and they picked us up and dropped us back off which was nice. Had a great trip!

Beautiful beach, of black volcanic pebbles (which with Sun become hot!!) therefore Recommendation to bring your shoes. Crystal clear and calm sea. We stayed for 2 days at the Aqua bathroom: free sunbeds and umbrellas as long as you eat in the bathroom restaurant (which has great food at fair prices: in 4 we spent between 55 and 60 euros).

Black beach with pebbles piccolissimi.Per me the most beautiful and especially comfortable for the feet. Easy to find parking and super economic beaches. We paid 10€ for an umbrella and two sunbeds in the third row.

It’s been a few years since our last holiday to Perissa , it’s pretty at the Ancient Thira part , but further up the walk to perivolos is busy & bustling some parts you can’t even see the beach for the vast amount of beach Sun loungers on it bumper to bumper!!! with a lot more bars restaurants shops lined the beachfront , too busy for us now, feel it’s lost it’s traditional Greek atmosphere, perivolos for us a 40-60 minute walk or or take the fun train €8 pp also goes to Vlichada marina and towards the end of Perivolos near Lava tavern is a quieter Authentic Greek re treat

Beautiful beach with the grand backdrop of the Thera mountain/hill dotted with plenty of excellent restaurants and taverns. Beach huts get booked early in the day (10€) during summer, with a nice relaxing day spent on the beach. The walk along the Perissa to Perivolos beaches is lovely too, but not in the fierce midday sun. The local bus will drop you off right near the beach. There are water sports like jet ski, tubing, parasailing available as well.

I had the opportunity to visit Santorini in 2023 with my friends, Vanderson, Simonik, Jocicleide, Railanae and Luana. I went to a boat trip with my friends around the Santorini caldera, and we visited the hot springs. you should visit Perissa beach, it is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen, with crystal clear waters and pleasant temperature. I recommend you also try the fresh salads and delicious fish served at the Fratzeskos tavern restaurant.

Very interesting experience, but not to stay long. The black sand is very hot and for the sea bath it passes by sliding stone. On the other hand, the bars put a set of sunbeds and 2 chairs, for 20 euros. If you consume the value or more, do not pay.

It’s easy to imagine Perissa as the small fishing village it must have been not so long ago. It’s USP (Unique Selling Point) as a tourist destination is that it possesses one of Santorini’s few sandy beaches although fans of golden sands will be disappointed by the course, black volcanic sand; no sandcastles here I’m afraid. In fact, during our entire holiday we never once went into the sea preferring the convenience of our hotel swimming pool. And there certainly lots of hotel pools; even many of the small places have them. The charm of Perissa is that, despite its continued growth, it still feels ‘small scale’. There are no high rise developments with most properties being only two stories. Most Perissa accommodation caters for the middle/higher end adult market. There are few attractions for children and young teenagers who may well be better served in other places. Likewise, there is more late night entertainment is areas such as Kamari, Fira and Oia. There are, however, a huge range of restaurants and cocktail bars ranging from mid to high prices with, unsurprisingly, seafood and fish a speciality. Many Restaurants serve until 23:00 with bars operating into the early hours. If your idea of a Greek holiday is high activity days and dancing the night away it’s perhaps best to look elsewhere but if you want a laidback Greek holiday with good food, Perissa is a great choice.
