About Kamari
Kamari is Santorini’s liveliest seaside resort, famous for its striking black volcanic sand beach, a truly unique experience in Greece. This unusual and dramatic shoreline has earned two Blue Flags, making it a favourite with families and sun-seekers alike. Lining the pedestrianised promenade, you’ll find a lively mix of hotels, bars, restaurants, tavernas, cafés, and gift shops, perfect for a leisurely stroll or a relaxed evening by the sea.
For those seeking a change of scenery, an enchanting walk from Kamari square to Ancient Thira awaits. Perched atop Mesa Vouno mountain, the site offers stunning panoramic views of the island and the sea. Along the trail, you’ll discover the ancient agora, the Temple of Dionysos, and the sanctuary of Artemidoros. The walk takes about an hour each way, though guided excursions from Kamari are also available for a more relaxed visit.
Kamari perfectly blends novelty, history, and vibrant seaside life, making it a must-visit on Santorini.
