Perissa, Andreas Studios

andreas Studios are very basic but clean there is maid service every day..the rooms are quite spacious but lack some very basic utensils..Towels provided looked very old and resembled cardboard!!air conditionig you pay for but unfortunately broke down on several occasions which the staff were very blaze'regarding until our holiday rep became involved and we were offered a part refund..Christina who ran the poolside snack bar was very friendly and pleasant. The pool was very nice although within the grounds there are some Health and Safety issues that travellers with young families should be aware of..The Andreas is also situated on the main road which can be a little noisy and also a little dangerous when trying to negotiate the traffic .. Perissa has plenty of good eating places and bars.. The beach is good if you dont mind black sand..Santorini is a beautiful island especially to the north, very picturesque.. low key and ideal for a quiter time..Overall a very good holiday and will no doubt visit again some time

Our second visit to the Andreas Studios, and our third visit is planned for October, the studios are situated ideally, just across the road from the 24 hour bakery, and the Coop supermarket (yes that is spelt right) which is just about the cheapest in the resort.

The Andreas studios are well worth a visit, friendly staff, and a bar man who cannot do enough to ensure you have a memorable stay.

In a nut shell Perissa is a lovely resort and the Andreas studios are a great base from which to enjoy not only the resort but all of the island, as buses are regular and very cheap. Enjoy !

The Andreas Studios apartments we were in were spacious (if somewhat spartan), clean and had large balconies. However, we heard rumour that some of the rooms were very small. The pool area was cramped, but the pool itself was very good - a good size and very clean.

We were very disappointed when we first arrived on Santorini. The area to the south west of the island is flat and barren, with large areas of scrub land and very little vegetation. However, we went up to the north and it is very beautiful indeed. The views over the caldera are some of the most awe inspiring I have ever seen.

The people were lovely, especially Palos in the Summertime bar in Perissa!! God's Garden was a good restaurant but the best was on the right hand side of the road going south about 20 metres from the News Bar on the opposite side of the road.

The best place to stay on the island would be Oia, but it is very expensive.
