Kamari
For couples and families who want black-sand beach days with restaurants and shops nearby
Black volcanic sand is the starting point for a Kamari stay. The eastern coastal village combines its beach with cafes, restaurants and shops. Ancient Thera adds an archaeological outing to consider alongside a holiday mainly organised around the sea.
Couples and families can build days around swimming and meals, leaving room for island visits when they want them. We would first decide which part of the resort you want to return to for dinner, then compare accommodation against that plan.
KTEL links Kamari with Fira. Check the relevant stop and the route from the property if buses matter to your stay. For a holiday centred on a caldera-facing terrace, compare Firostefani or Imerovigli as well.
Our tip
In Kamari, compare the route from your accommodation to the beach and your preferred restaurants. For Fira outings, check the relevant KTEL stop and timetable.
