This humble Solos only residence is situated just 80 meters from the unique and stunning black sand beach of Perissa. This beach holds a Blue Flag award and is sheltered from the summer Aegean winds because of its location next to the Profitis Ilias mountain.

Santorini
Santorini conjures up images of white-washed houses, blue-domed churches and dramatic cliffs. The southernmost of the Cyclades, a group of islands that spreads most of the way across the Mediterranean from Athens in the north to Crete in the south. The island enjoys beautiful weather from early spring to late autumn, and is like no other with its dramatic crescent shape created from a huge volcanic eruption thousands of years ago.
Towering cliffs on the west coast afford possibly the best and most famous views in the whole of the Mediterranean, whilst the east coast’s volcanic sand beaches offer a diversion to many other attractions. A wide range of optional excursions are on offer if you choose to leave Perissa and explore further afield. Choose from a full day tour of the island or jump on a transfer to the town of Oia to witness the sunsets dreams are made of.

Gratuities
There is often confusion on the question of gratuities, since it frequently depends on the type of holiday, location and, of course, your attitude towards tipping, as to what is normally expected. In order to give you a rough idea, we have given appropriate guidance below. Your Tour Leader will be on hand to offer advice or suggestions if required but gratuities are offered entirely at the sole discretion of the individual. We suggest a group collection to cover drivers, porters and hotel staff of €15.00 per week.
Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, or taxi fares, your Tour Leader can advise of an appropriate add on.
Dress Code
Casual, cotton, lightweight daytime wear is the order of the day. Comfortable shoes are a must for sightseeing. Smart casual clothes will be ideal for the evening. Early and late season evenings can be cool so do ensure that you take a cardigan or jacket and even some rainwear – particularly in May and June when you may experience some spring thunderstorms followed by scorching days!
