Relax at Perissa and Perivolos beaches in Santorini, a long stretch of unique black volcanic sand offering a lively beach scene with numerous tavernas, beach bars, watersports, and a more laid-back vibe than the caldera towns. Perissa and Perivolos, on Santorini's southeast coast, form a long, continuous stretch of distinctive black volcanic sand beach. This area offers a more traditional beach holiday experience compared to the caldera-side villages. It's lined with a vibrant array of tavernas, beach bars (some with DJs and a party atmosphere, especially in Perivolos), and offers various watersports. It's a popular choice for Irish visitors looking for sunbathing, swimming, and a more casual, lively beach scene.
