Istoria, a Member of Design Hotels

Hotel Categoria:
5*

At the sublime junction where the black volcanic sand of Perivolos Beach meets the midnight blue waters of the Aegean Sea, one finds Istoria, a 12-suite retreat, where a unique blend of classic and contemporary aesthetics animates a next-generation social hub, while embracing all the needs of modern and sophisticated travellers, for an experience that is wholly and authentically Greek.

As if sculpted from the hand of some chthonic deity and bathed in bright Cycladic sunshine, Istoria’s 12 idyllic suites are impressively arched towards towards the privacy of verdant terraces, crowned, in most cases, with private outdoor hot tubs or pools, offering an additional layer of refuge to this resplendent haven.
 

Despite an overwhelming dedication to tranquility and solace, Istoria features several spaces for guests to unwind. An impressively large pool, made with an impressive green artisan tile work, ensconced within protective walls and bounded by loungers is enhanced by a statement sunken pool bar. Elsewhere, the hotel’s main restaurant, serves modern Greek and Mediterranean cuisine created with fresh, seasonal ingredients and seafood garnered from the island and the Aegean Sea. Amenities are rounded up with the serene Elios Spa offering treatments that cure the body, soul and spirit.

Istoria is located on Santorini’s paradisiac eastern half, right on the seafront of the renowned black sand beach of Perivolos, a 3km stretch of volcanic black sand in the pristine eastern side of the island that is still left undisturbed by the visiting crowds, just 10 km from Santorini’s port and 13 km from the airport.
