all the fresh white paint is somehow more pristine, the infinity pool overlooking the sea that much more spectacular, the suites even sunnier and breezier
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Perivolas offers a quiet cliffside setting, with the bustling marble lanes of Oia a fifteen-minute stroll away.
The rooms
Every suite has vaulted cave ceilings and a sun veranda over the sea, with plunge pools in select categories.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The spa
A subterranean cave pool sits beneath vaulted ceilings, lit by underwater mosaics beside a Turkish hammam and sauna.
At the table
Therasia serves Mediterranean fine dining over the caldera, and Katikies Lounge pours sunset cocktails on the pool deck.
