Perissa Black Sand Beach, Perissa

The wonderful beach of Perissa with black sand. A quiet place to rest and relax by the water, the entrance to the water is gradual. It is possible to take a boat from this beach to the nearby Kamari beach. The beach is situated in an environment of beautiful rocky cliffs. Great restaurants or beautiful typical blue and white Greek churches and attractions nearby. Recommend.

A pretty black sand beach with white cliffs in the background. We came here pretty late though so it was quite empty, but we managed to catch a beautiful sunset here. The neighborhood feels a little run down after the other posh places in Santorini but it's nice for a quiet beach walk and checking out of some unique merchandise shops. The restaurants near the beach though feel like a tourist trap hence we did not feel like trying any of them but rather had gyros from a small place near the bus stop. Bus service to Perissa is pretty good though, even though the times hardly follow the printed schedule.
