Why We Love This Stay
Kamari is one of Santorini’s best-kept secrets, a proper beach resort without the chaos of Fira or the tourist crowds of Oia. Here’s why we love it as a base:
🏖️ The beach
Black volcanic sand and pebbles, crystal-clear calm water, and a full stretch of sunbeds, tavernas and beach bars right on the waterfront.
🚶 Everything is walkable
A long pedestrianised promenade (the famous “strip”) runs the length of the seafront, lined with restaurants, cafés, bars and shops. You genuinely don’t need a car to have a brilliant holiday.
🚌 Great connections
Buses run regularly into Fira, making day trips to Oia for the famous sunset, the volcano, or the neighbouring beach town of Perissa completely hassle-free. Car hire is also easy if you want to explore further afield.
🏛️ Ancient Thera
Perched on the rocky ridge directly above Kamari are the ruins of Ancient Thera, a Greco-Roman site with jaw-dropping sea views in both directions. A short but steep hike or drive up; most visitors make it a half-day trip and don’t regret it.
✨ The vibe
Lively without being loud. Equally brilliant for couples, friends or a grown-up escape. Evenings on the strip mean open-air dining and cocktails at a relaxed pace, none of the party-resort energy of Perivolos, none of the tourist overload of Fira.
