Perivolas is one of the most famous hotels in Greece. It has featured on the covers of numerous travel periodicals, interior design magazines and travel books as well as on television showing the Perivolas Suite and their famous infinity swimming pool. It is not hard to understand why it gets so much attention. The place is quite simply perfect.

The hotel is in an area where a few hundred years back, farmers and fishermen lived in troglodyte houses carved into the cliff-side. Over a period of almost 30 years, owner Costis Psychas has restored the remains of eighteen little houses. He rebuilt the old ruins slowly, carefully and lovingly, designing on the spot, and carving deeper into the rock wherever more space was needed.

The result of Costis’ work is stunning. The whitewashed houses blend in playfully with the shapes and volcanic grey shades of the cliff-side. In a few places, the white looks just like snow melting from the cliff. Blue completes the exterior colour scheme. A spectacular swimming pool gently follows the shape of the cliff-edge, its blue colour merging with that of the sky and the sea.

Inside, the houses are done in a striking ‘Cycladic Zen’ style. The interiors are white and bright, while hand woven fabrics add touches of blue, lavender and pink. In some houses a shaft of sunshine pours in from a skylight. Everything (stone-built benches, walls, ceilings) is smoothly curved. Even the built-in beds are tucked away in round niches. It creates a calm and peaceful feeling, which matches the overall atmosphere at Perivolas. It is a place where you can relax and spend days just taking in its unmatched beauty and magic. Each suite has its own facilities to make refreshments and also a refrigerator.

Activities
When you stay in a place like Perivolas, you won’t feel like doing all that much. But if you manage to tear yourself away for a bit from the amazing pool and stunning views, go for a stroll in the charming alleyways of Oia and explore the grey and red sandy beaches. Or, if you are looking for something more stimulating you can also go sailing . You should certainly go to Ammoudi Bay (at the very end of the Caldera) for a meal by the sea.
