The original town of Kamari was destroyed by a massive earthquake in 1956, and what stands in its place now is a modern village that combines both traditional elements, and contemporary resort-style features.
At the heart of the village you’ll find a two-mile stretch of beach, consisting of smooth, black volcanic pebbles. It’s a lovely place for walking or picnicking, and the clear waters of the Aegean offer perfect conditions for swimming. There are water sports on offer during a holiday in Kamari, with opportunities for jet skiing, windsurfing, or even scuba diving.
Along this stretch of coastline are located most of the resort’s shops, bars and tavernas, making this seafront promenade a great starting point for a holiday to Kamari. Stop by one of the many bars to enjoy a coffee or a cocktail, or treat yourself to a meal out at one of Kamari’s fine restaurants. The seafood is particularly good here, freshly caught and prepared to traditional Greek recipes. Another one of Santorini’s top exports is wine, so be sure to try some of the local vino on your holiday in Kamari!
