A Tranquil Black-Sand Haven Away From Caldera Crowds

While most Santorini visitors congest the clifftop alleyways of Oia, Istoria offers the island's most sublime seaside escape on the southeast coastline. Located right on the volcanic black sands of Perivolos Beach, the 12-suite boutique property blends traditional Cycladic stone masonry with contemporary minimalism.

Each suite boasts either a private outdoor hot tub or plunge pool, with direct barefoot access to a dedicated stretch of sunbeds and umbrellas along the Aegean shoreline.
