The broad stretch of volcanic sand gives Perissa room for a longer seaside visit. The dark shore makes Santorini's volcanic setting unmistakable and offers a different kind of stop from its caldera villages. Kamari lies beyond the headland, so decide which beach fits your day before assuming you can move directly between them.
What to look for
The long stretch of black volcanic sand
The headland separating Perissa from Kamari
Useful to know
Allow a dedicated beach stop rather than treating Perissa as a brief photo stop.
Plan transport separately if combining Perissa and Kamari; the headland divides the two shores.
