A short scenic drive across the island to the south eastern coast, will take you to the beautiful black sands of Perivolos Beach.


This volcanic landscape stretches out for 5 miles, with numerous tavernas, cafés, shops and bars lining the seafront. Enjoy approximately 3½ hours of free time to top up your tan and take a refreshing dip in the cooling crystalline clear waters of the Aegean Sea.


The tour ends in Fira with a walk of 1500 yards to reach the cable car station. In the event of inclement weather the cable car operation may be closed and guests will be required to walk down the steep road.
