Holidays to Perivolos serve up seafront tavernas, impressive historical sites and glistening black-sand beaches, all backed by brooding Vouno Mountain.
Dive right in
Sitting on Santorini's vast south-eastern coastline, this Greek island hotspot's a winner with watersports enthusiasts. Perivolos offers scuba diving and even adventurous parasailing. It's also just a 15-minute drive from Red Beach, which takes its name from the striking hue of its rust-coloured cliffs.
Travel back in time
Take a daytrip to ancient Akrotiri, the island's mini version of Pompeii. Hit by a blanket of ash by an erupting volcano a few thousand years ago, the excavated site's an incredible window to the past – you can even see where utensils were dropped on the spot by the town's unlucky residents.
