Dipping your toes into the black lava sand at Perissa Beach is a unique way to experience Santorini’s volcanic geology. And getting closer to nature on Perissa Beach is easy!

Simply paddle in the deep blue and clear waters and gaze at the gigantic Mesa Vouno mountain that seems to climb from the sea. You can hire a sun lounger to bask in the sun orfind a shady spot at one of the many cafes and bars that border the sandy stretch.

If you’re looking for your next thrill, hire watersports equipment and paddle outinto the deep blue, or explore the shallows as you swim in the clean waters that have earned Blue Flag awards over the years. Cost of the facilities at the beach is not included in the price of the excursion.
