Kamari Beach
Καμάρι
A black pebble beach about 5 km long on the east coast of the island, with excellent facilities and clear water, backed by Mesa Vouno.
Kamari is the most developed beach resort on the east coast of Santorini. Its beach of dark volcanic sand and fine pebbles stretches for several kilometres. It holds the Blue Flag award, and the water is clear, though it gets deep quickly. The pedestrian promenade along the coast is lined with restaurants, bars, and shops. You can rent sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach, and water sports are also available. The Mesa Vouno mountain at the southern end separates Kamari from Perissa, and the summit is the site of Ancient Thera. The Cine Kamari open-air cinema is a local highlight in summer. The black sand gets extremely hot at midday in summer, so wear beach shoes. Kamari is about 10 km from Fira, with frequent buses, and it is also very close to the airport.
