Perivolas Hideway is the result of the renovation and restructuring of a former mining terminal (dated back to 1850) on the island of Thirassia into a contemporary and charming villa, with the touch of a luxury boutique hotel.

Owner Costis Psychas (and his father before him) had already spent several decades restoring ruined caves in Oia, creating the first five-star Perivolas, a breathtaking complex of whitewashed houses on the village’s cliff.

Mix in chopped capsicum, cauliflower, coconut milk and firm tofu. Let it cook uncovered for 5-7 minutes on medium heat until you see bubbles forming on the surface. Adjust the seasonings as well as the gravy to your preferred thickens.

San Francisco-area landscape artist Andreas Amador sketches massive sand drawings onto beaches using only a rake. He slowly carves these beaituful geometric organic shapes into the sand, achieving temporary but beautiful art. The works exist for only a few moment before being washed away by the tide.
