Perama sits at the narrowest point of the Gera gulf, opposite Koundouroudia, connected by one of the shortest ferry crossings in Greece, a small chain ferry that takes only a few minutes. The village itself is a quiet working waterfront with tavernas and cafes facing the strait, making it a natural stop for travellers crossing the gulf or exploring its southern shore by road.

What to See and Do

  • the Perama–Koundouroudia chain-ferry crossing, one of the shortest local ferry rides on the island
  • the waterfront and its everyday fishing-village atmosphere
  • easy access to the wider Gera gulf loop toward Skopelos

The chain ferry runs frequently and is a fun, low-cost way to shortcut around the gulf rather than driving the full loop road.
