Perissa beach

Perissa is the main beach with black sand in the island of Santorini, Greece. The south end of the coast is called Perivolos, but de facto it is one beach stretched for many miles. Black sand is not a pleasure for everybody, but anyway you won't find anything better in Santorini. Keep in mind that in the afternoon the sand becomes very hot, and there are a lot of tourists everywhere. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]
