Taking a Dip at Kamari Beach

What makes Kamari Beach so unique is its signature black pebble shores formed from Santorini’s volcanoes.  The sand is not quite sand, not quite rocks, but it definitely isn’t fine and soft that most sandy beaches are.  The water here is super clear and still – lie on your back for half an hour, get up and realize you’re in the same spot.  The beach has a private feel to it being enclosed by the headland, the place isn’t very touristy and people are here to tan or swim, there isn’t room for beachside sports.  However, just a few steps away is a promenade of shops, restaurants and bars to enjoy.  Upon arrival, you can rent umbrellas and chairs which are essential to stay off the hot, pebbled shore.  The calmness here is undeniable.  Relax, take a dip in the water, enjoy the sun and hop aboard one of the water taxis to take you to Perissa Beach, a short boat ride just around the headland.  Welcome to bliss.
