About Kamari

Kamari, a small coastal village on Santorini, is defined by its long black sand beach that was created from volcanic rock. This seaside stretch is lined with a lively promenade featuring cafes, bars, and shops, making it a hotspot for tourists seeking sun and sea. The area is dominated by a view of the Aegean and is often busy with visitors enjoying the beach vibe, while the nearby Prophet Elias Monastery offers a quieter contrast with panoramic views of the island. Most people come to lounge on the beach or grab a bite at a local taverna, but don’t expect much excitement beyond the shore and the occasional stroll along the promenade.

Who it's for

Ideal for sunbathers, beach lovers, and anyone who enjoys a leisurely meal with a sea view. Not suited for those who seek nightlife beyond a few bars or want extensive public transport options, as the local service is limited and walking is essential.

Getting around

Public transport: Limited

  • The beach and promenade are all within a short walk of each other
  • The nearest bus stop connects to Fira, but runs infrequently
  • Taxis are available, but can be hard to find during peak hours
  • Renting a car or bike is the most reliable way to explore
