Perissa

Perissa is a sea-side village on the eastern shore of Thira, the largest island in the Santorini archipelago. It has a long black sand beach, which stretches to the neighbouring municipalities Perivolos (Περίβολος) and Agios Georgios with a near-continuous line of bars, hotels, and restaurants parallel with the beach.
