FAMILY DROSSOS:
The Drossos family originates from Santorini itself. It is a large, old family with a farming background. Despite the hardships of everyday life in the early years, the family maintained a good sense of hospitality and has always seen visitors in a friendly way. Ever since tourism began in the sixties in Santorini, the family saw it as an opportunity to meet interesting people and learn from them as much as they could, while at the same time providing accommodation. The first tourists the family ever hosted, actually lived with them in a spare room in their house.
An entire generation of Drossos family has grown up since then, learning how to like other people and to cater for their needs. As a natural result of this, nearly every family member now owns a hotel or villa, or other types of accommodation.
However, things have changed, tourism is now the most rapidly developing industry on the island and this has lead to the gradual loss of the original atmosphere the tourists and the locals once enjoyed.
Maybe for the first time in the history of the island, a whole family has decided to regroup and unite its efforts in order to preserve the friendly style holidays they have always known how to provide. For them, tourism is not an opportunity. It is a way of life.
Over the last forty years, the family has not moved away from Perissa, but has spread and now covers a larger area. This is a perfect environment for the visitor; the various types of accommodation owned by the twelve youngest members of the family were not created to a specific pattern. They form a wide variety of Rooms that can satisfy even the most demanding guest, while being only walking distance from each other. This is very convenient if you meet or already know people who are staying in other hotels or villas owned by the family. The Hotel Drossos is an ideal meeting point and the owners of all our combined accommodation will be happy to assist you with all your queries and help you organize any type of event.
