About Kamari Beach

Kamari Beach is Santorini's most organised beach, featuring a beautifully paved seaside promenade lined with tavernas, shops, and bars. The dramatic black volcanic sand stretches beneath the towering Ancient Thera headland, creating a striking landscape. The beach has been awarded the Blue Flag for water quality and services.

What sets Kamari apart is its atmospheric evening scene β€” the promenade lights up at night, outdoor cinemas screen films under the stars, and excellent restaurants serve fresh seafood. During the day, the well-maintained beach offers full services alongside free areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Kamari and Perissa?
Kamari has a better promenade and restaurant scene, more organised services. Perissa is longer, more party-oriented, and slightly more budget-friendly.
Is Kamari good for families?
Excellent β€” Blue Flag certification, lifeguards, gentle entry, and a promenade for strolling. The open-air cinema is a family highlight.
Can you see the sunset from Kamari?
Kamari faces east, so it doesn't get direct sunset views. Head to Oia or the caldera side for sunsets.
