Absolutely amazing stay. Perfect location near the beaches, supermarkets, bus stop, car and quad hire, everything. Holiday Beach Resort is the most beautiful hotel we have ever stayed in, a lush tropical oasis amongst its surroundings. It is immaculate, freshly painted, obviously loved. The family are friendly and kind and made us feel completely welcome, but let us enjoy our holiday with privacy. They couldn't have done more for us though to make us welcome and help us enjoy our stay. True professionals and exceptional at what they do.
The beach at Perivolos is a few minutes' walk down a quieter road where they do drive very fast, but we always walked and never felt at risk. Its plenty wide enough. You can walk along the beach to Perissa Beach and then back up the main road to the hotel to complete a triangle. Its a good chunky walk but you get to see tonnes of beautiful beach and pass plenty of well priced taverns for souvlaki and gyros on the way back up. The local supermarket (Big Discount Coop) do free transport back to the hotel if you buy five bags full of goods. Just ask at the till.
I recommend walking from Oia to Thira along the coastal road, 11km. Take a head for heights and plenty of water! The route is not pushchair friendly as we found out. The bus stop is a few metres from the hotel. Take a bus to Thira and then a connecting bus to Oia. Very simple.
I can recommend a stay here without hesitation. We had the best holiday here at Holiday Beach Resort. Thanks everyone so much.
