Perissa is a long black sand beach on southeastern Santorini, at the foot of Mesa Vouno mountain. The beach faces 130° with limited natural shelter, often resulting in waves. It offers organized facilities with sunbeds and umbrellas, while nearby accommodations and restaurants are available. Access is easy via the road network.
Real shoreline from OpenStreetMap at a fixed scale so the diagrams are comparable with one another — the dot marks the beach.
The beach faces southeast. With northwesterly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with southeasterly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The coast is exposed to the open sea, so conditions change quickly with the wind.
In calm seas yes, but the water gets deep fairly quickly — normal supervision applies.
On days with northwesterly (offshore) winds or no wind at all. Check the live score on Beach Radar before you go — it updates all day.
Yes — sunbeds, umbrellas and food options operate during the summer season.
