Directly on the shore of renowned Perivolos Beach—a 3km stretch of volcanic black sand on Santorini’ pristine eastern side—and far removed from the bustle of the towns, Istoria Beach offers a unique seaside concept that lets you engage with the island’s activity from a serene sanctuary. Here, minimalist suites charm with stone columns, wooden roofs, handcrafted textiles, and arched openings that lead to bright verandas. Istoria Cliff, meanwhile, is set on the rugged cliffs of Firostefani, overlooking the caldera, 30-minutes from Istoria Beach. Highlighting natural materials and wood-stone details, Istoria’s elegant cliff suites are carved into ancient stone, a place of perspective and stillness. Firostefani unfolds at a gentle pace, with whitewashed houses, hidden chapels, and uninterrupted views of the volcano. Guests at Istoria Beach and Istoria Cliff have full access to all the amenities at the seaside location. Two shuttle services per day enable Istoria Cliff guests to visit Istoria’s beach location.
