Perivolos Hotel Reviews

Perivolos is a quiet village, with a strip of trendy and traditional bars and tavernas along the sea front. There is a good choice but some of the bars are quite expensive and since we visited in June, seemed to be very quiet - almost empty at times. We do not like a rowdy holiday but some atmosphere at night would have been better. The more traditional tavernas werent so empty however. Menus were of good choice and slightly more expensive than other Greek islands. The beach itself is very clean and has lots of natural looking parasols on it which blended in with the area. There are a handful of little supermarkets along the front, but they dont seem to sell anything more than water, snacks and souvenirs. 'Meterora' taverna is good value and has a great atmosphere, with a Greek night every Monday which is a must. The 'Tavern' (cant remember the Greek name of it) is also a very nice taverna. There is a bus which you can catch on the hour, at the end of the road to the left if you are looking at the sea. This bus takes you to Perissa and onto Thira. Thira is beautiful and has lots to see and do. If you want to visit Oia, you have to catch a different bus when you get to Thira. Perivolos is a lovely relaxing base, to soak up the sun or to visit the rest of the island.
