Perivolos Santorini Beach - A Hot Spot for a Refreshing Holiday

By 
I love Perivolos Beach. And let me tell you why in just three words: location, location, location. Set at the south end of Santorini Island, you can get anywhere quickly and easily by car from this black sand beach resort area. For example, if you drive a car from Perivolos-Perissa to Oia (located at the very northern end of the island), you can get there in just under 45 minutes... and that's driving pretty darn slow. You can get to Fira (located more in the center of the island) in about 15-20 minutes. This is a great spot to be in Santorini!
Vacationers who choose to take up residence in a Perivolos Santorini beach hotel do so for many reasons. Some want to work on their tan, and some want to work on reducing their stress levels. They can certainly do both on Perivolos beach on Santorini, Greece. Perivolos is known for its booming nightlife scene and gorgeous stretches of soft grey sand. Located between Vlihada and Perissa, Perivolos is a stunningly beautiful place to relax and enjoy the best of the Greek isles. It is one of the most tranquil and relaxing places in the world to spend a vacation.
There are plenty of options available for those seeking a Perivolos Santorini beach hotel, including youth hostels, guesthouses, villas, hotels, and resorts right up on the beach. Choosing a beach hotel in Santorini means that beach access is constant, allowing for stunning sunset views. For those staying for a prolonged period of time, they might want to consider renting an apartment, with all the conveniences of home. Because Perivolos is one of the most popular beaches on the island, a party atmosphere prevails and it's easy to meet new people from all over the world, to have new adventures with. But having regular access to a Santorini Beach is a real luxury when you consider that anyone who chooses a hotel in the more touristy and overrated part of the island (especially in Oia) will be paying a hefty price for stunning views, yes, but beaches... no.
Visitors who choose a Perivolos Santorini beach hotel are primed to take advantage of the uniqueness of this particular beach, also known as the "black beach" due to the copious amounts of black pebbles that dot the beach. There are a number of tour operators on this beach, offering up many interesting water sports, including water skiing, jet skiing, and sailing opportunities, among others. Sun worshippers of course will be perfectly happy to spend the day sprawling out on the luxurious sand, or under the shade of a straw umbrella while being caressed by the Aegean breezes.
Using their Perivolos Santorini beach hotel as a home base, there are plenty of opportunities to explore the rest of the island. Santorini offers up a host of exciting activities, including nightclubbing, a world class culinary scene, museums, ruins to explore, and of course peering into the volcano itself. For those interested in shopping, there are exciting hand crafted products in Santorini that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Wine tours are another popular activity, as this island is dotted with vineyards, offering a romantic and exciting way to spend a day.
