Perissa

Posted by funlovinfefe 18 August 2007

Such a great fun place. It isn't too mad, just nice and quiet, but if you look hard enough you'll find a wild and wonderful place.

For example, O'Dorians pub. They make great cocktails and they are also very cheap. For food, I recommend Santo Food (beside Full Moon) it's such a cheap friendly place.

However, unless you like snobs and stuck-up people who can't pour a pint, I'd stay away from the Full Moon bar.

Camping Perissa Beach

Posted by Proton 12 July 2007

Stunning site like a little village right on the beach with tents under trees, a mini mart, a tourist office, internet cafe and a bar and taverna.

Perssia and Fira

Posted by losttraveller 12 January 2007

Avoid Perssia and Fira. Fira is overcrowded, overhyped and feels more like Ibiza than an exclusive Greek island.

Perssia is just plain tacky with an awful beach, and caters only to the British package tour of a certain demographic - as witnessed by ubiquitous signs for 'full English breakfasts' and the Sun and Fredrick Forsyth novels in the newsagents. Whilst Oia is also overcrowded (especially when cruiseships dock), it is indescribably pretty, with better beaches, and with the best views on the island.

Oia doens't have the nightlife of Fira, but the atmosphere is much much nicer, and you can always pop over to Fira to go clubbing.
