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.

Volcano & Hot Springs Tour

A boat trip to the heart of the Santorini caldera — visits to the Nea Kameni volcano (hot black rock, sulfur vents, and the active crater that last erupted in 1950) and the Palea Kameni hot springs (warm orange-tinged sea, 35°C). Swimming in a volcanic caldera while Oia watches from the clifftop is an unforgettable experience.
