Monolithos beach on Santorini

Monolithos is the closest beach to the airport of Santorini. If you wait for a flight, you can take a taxi to Monolithos and relax on the beach instead of at the boring airport. The beach is close to Kamari so if you live there you can drive here for the day and get some change.

The fishing port in Monolithos.

Should I be careful, and I should be, Monolithos consists of two beaches. Partly a smaller beach that starts at the small fishing port, partly an almost endless beach that starts to the left of the small beach. It is the first-mentioned beach that attracts families with small children, and the latter on which there is always plenty of space. A couple of tavernas can be found above the small beach.

ACCOMMODATION IN MONOLITHOS

There are only a few hotels and pensions in Monolithos. Rooms to let Rena is probably the nicest of the ones that is found. If you want to live a bit more luxuriously, book Artemis Village, which is quite close to Monolithos.
