Perissa Beach Santorini
25-04-2013 10:29The famous black sandy beach is almost 15km fron Thira Town and 10km from Santorini airport. Santorini and its beaches are considered to be the most sought after place for a romantic getaway in Greece, since there are not many places in the world where you can enjoy exquisitely clear waters while perched on the rim of a massive active volcano in the middle of the sea.
Perissa is a beach resort situated 15 km southeast of Fira. It is a very tourist-crowded village and has an impressively long black sandy beach.
It s most noticeable feature is the Mesa Vouno, an enormous rock rising from the sea.
This area of Santorini offers a great night view when the lights of the rock are lit.
The village of Perissa is not really a village but a mostly a tourist town, populated only during the summer holidays time. The village offers a great variety of hotels and rooms, taverns and restaurants, cafes, bars, beach bars and night clubs.
The area is newly built and has been created only for the purpose of welcoming tourists, which explains the architecture that is very different from the other villages, which are much more traditional.
From Perissa, a small path crosses the mountain and leads to the ruins of Ancient Thera.
The excursions can be made by foot or riding donkeys..
The village of Perissa is also home to the charming chapel of Agia Irena (16th-17th centuries).
You will be captivated by the wild sightseeing of Perissa beach! Surrender in its clear blue water and relax in its velvet sand

Aktaion - Writing gastronomic history since 1922
Like a relay race of three generations; a journey with happy days, sad days, joys, sorrows, wars, Occupation, poverty, hunger, deaths, volcanic eruptions, catastrophic earthquakes, flee for a better life, return, better days, feasts, tourism explosion, financial crises and so on… Everything has been indelibly inscribed on the walls of this small building, Aktaion. I feel grateful that life has given me the opportunity to hold the reins of Aktaion all the way to its centennial.
