Serviced Apartments in Perissa

Perissa is a small town on the Greek island of Thira (also known as Thera or Santorini) in the Aegean Sea. This is one of the more popular tourist destinations on the most southern island in the Cyclades group, attracting many tourists from all over Greece and Europe making use of the excellent holiday apartments in Perissa. Located on the south east coast of Thira, it is about 120 miles from the Greek mainland

The typical climate of Perissa is hot and dry and is officially one of the only locations in Europe to have a desert climate. This is not as offputting as it sounds, but those who are not fond of hot temperatures should properly not visit the town during the hottest times of the year. Of course any high-quality apartment rental in Perissa will come with air conditioning as standard, as do the many cafeterias and tavernas around town.

The culture of Perissa is traditionally Minoan; being about 120 miles north of the home of that civilisation - Crete. For those visitors with an interest in ancient history, a trip to Akrotiri will be an exciting experience. This is the site of an excavation of a Minoan Bronze Age settlement about 15 minutes away from any Perissa holiday rental and features some especially well preserved frescoes. There is also a selection of furniture, pottery and artefacts to view at the site.

Being based in a Perissa serviced apartment there are many boat excursions you can take to explore the numerous small islands and villages around you. The nearest island of the Cyclades to Perissa is Ia to the west, but there are many other sightseeing trips available by boat. Fishing and watersports are also available, with many tour operators in the town able to organise these for you.

When visiting such a traditional Greek community, it is wonderful to take advantage of the real Greek cuisine available to you. Greek cuisine generally focuses on the use of fish, olives, feta cheese and filo pastry but also makes use of other seasonal produce. Interesting products such as honey made from the nectar of citrus and fruit trees such as orange and lemon trees, thyme and pine honey are certainly not the kind of thing you would find back at home. If you find something you especially like, be sure to take some back to your Perissa self-catered apartment or aparthotel.
