http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23771
For sightseeing on a budget, you couldn't do better - check out some contemporary art and sculpture from Greek and foreign artists.

Then when you've worked up a thirst, head over to the modern winery for a tasting. Specialities include the delicious Vino Santo, a sweet dessert wine, and Tsikoudia, a drink made from grape pomace, the solid remains of the grape after pressing.

It's far cheaper than touring vineyards in Tuscany, and you get a dose of edgy art on the side!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23771 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23748 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23748 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23733
The owner Captain Spiros (yes really!) listens to his guests and makes improvements to his hotel accordingly. At around €42 per room per night it is terrific value. Breakfast is light, but more than sufficient with fresh Greek produce. There are lovely views at the back from an attractive garden with pool.

Tavernas in Perissa are many, good and cheap. Fira and Dorian's Pub over the road has a welcoming leafy garden and cheap cocktails and beer.

Flights are with Easyjet from Gatwick.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23733 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6612
While at Perissa, avoid the 'club' Full Moon as the music is dire and the dj is very unpleasant if you make polite requests. Cds skip etc.

Also, the Athina Apartments are wonderful, just lovely - in a very quiet part of town.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6612
