Hotel Description
At the sublime junction where the black volcanic sand meets the midnight blue waters of the Aegean Sea, one finds Santorini’s newest addition, Istoria, a 12-suite retreat on Perivolos Beach.
Istoria is inspired by storytelling, deriving its name from the Greek word ‘ιστορία,’ which means story. The 12 guest rooms — each with a name in a different language that translates to the word ‘story’ — are impressively arched towards the privacy of individual terraces, in most cases leading to private outdoor hot tubs and pools.
