Perissa Black Sand Beach
About Perissa Black Sand Beach
Santorini's best beach — the volcanic black sand beach on the eastern coast, 8km long with crystal-clear water, beach clubs, and the dramatic Mesa Vouno cliff above. The black sand retains heat, making it warm to walk on barefoot; the snorkeling at the southern end near Perivolos is excellent.
