After a fifteen-minute drive, arrive at the southernmost part of the island and step onto Perivolos black sand beach, with the fantastic seaside restaurants and crystal clear waters.
Back on the minivan, driving between landscapes full of vines, reach the island’s highest peak, the monastery of Prophet Elias, at 565 meters.
