The village is composed of traditional houses built around the Venetian Castle and the small streets follow the shape of the hill. Climbing from the square up to the castle of Pyrgos, the stone houses crowd more densely together and the labyrinth of narrow vaulted lanes becomes more tortuous.

Perissa lies right next to ProfitisIlias Mountain, totally protected from the North. Magnificent beach for swimmimg.Red beach, located by the village of Akrotiri. Beautiful beach, well known for the unique color of the sand and the hill behind it.

You'll have around 30 minutes here for photos and for walking around.
