Kamari beach in Santorini

Kamari is, after Fira, the second largest tourist resort in Santorini. The beach stretches from the enormous rock that separates Perissa and Kamari, all the way to the airport.

View of Kamari from Ancient Thira.

The sand is gray-black, coarse-grained and warm. There is a maze of wooden footbridges on the beach that makes it possible to walk without burning your feet. Bathing shoes is recommended. It gets deep almost at once. Treacherous and slippery reefs hides along some sections of the beach. From your sunbed or bar stool you will have full control of all planes that are heading in for landing. When you are going home you can wave to your favourite taverna and start to long to go back.
