Perissa Black Sand Beach
Perissa's wide organized beach with flat promenade access makes it manageable for the full age range. Come early - the black volcanic sand reaches extreme temperatures by midday, which is a problem for barefoot toddlers and uncomfortable for everyone. The watersports facilities and windsurfing school work for older kids and teens. The shallow morning water is calm enough for the youngest.
