Perivolos Resort

Perivolos is a town that was intentionally built to become a tourist resort. It is located on the north-east coast of Santorini between the resorts of Perissa and Vlihada. It can be enjoyed by both families with children but also young and elderly couples, or groups of friends.

Perivolos beaches

The beautiful coast will catch your attention especially with a long beach with an extraordinarily dark sand. The beach offers nice bathing in the clean and warm but also the possibility to try some of the water sports like diving or water skiing to its visitors.

What to do in Perivolos?

After a long sunny day, you can refresh yourself in some of the local tavernas, bars and cafés all over the place. The restaurants both on the beach and in the town will serve you delicious and exclusive dishes of the traditional Greek cuisine but also classical continental dishes or fastfood meals. Some of the popular disges include souvlaki, kebab nebo gyros.

In the local minimarkets, you can buy the basic groceries, fresh fruit and vegetables, and souvenirs. For more shopping, you can take a bus to the nearby Fira, a resort lying on a hill and enchanting its visitors with a terraced maze of crooked paved streets and shops of all kinds. At the peak of the hill near the church and the Dominican monastery, you will find mainly jewellery shops.
