We came to this beach twice on our trip. The beach is not comprised of sand but of small pebbles so its not the best to walk on. Whats great about this beach is that it doesn't seem to fill up on weekends and its quiet enough to relax. Plenty of parking everywhere. More

What I loved about this place was that it felt really relaxed. Unlike some of the other beaches around, this was quiet and had wonderful views. I stayed in Oia but I think I could have stayed here for a different experience. It is not as elegant as Oia of course but more of the lazy beach vibe. Many of... More

We are not beach people but looking at the beach it is not unexpected to be anything other than black volcanic sand. It looks clean and the water is green and blue. More

The beach is long and pretty. But the "sand" is more like fine pebbles. There are plenty of shops along the beach drive and great places for food. Many were offering free sunbeds as well (not sure if those continue in the high season). We didnt walk very far past Perissa, so it could get much nicer or different, but... More

There are lots of restaurants and cafes lining the beach where you can grab a drink and relax in plush seating. Much of the area on the beach above the line where the waves reach... More
