Kamari Beach

Kamari Beach

The Aegean Sea has been very generous to Santorini, not only bestowing it with a great climate and beautiful scenery, but also gifting it three different colored beaches in one go: white, red, and black. The most famous black beach is none other than Kamari Beach, which has become the most popular resort beach on the eastern side of Santorini Island.

What sets Kamari Beach apart from others is that its shore is not covered in sand, but in small, round, black pebbles that have been polished smooth by the waves. The unique volcanic rock geology has created this one-of-a-kind black beach. Since volcanic ash mixes with the white sand on the beach, both the sand and the water appear black. Visitors here can be seen swimming in the black sea, reading and relaxing under sun umbrellas, or lying on the beach to soak up the sun—it’s a truly blissful and enviable scene.

At Kamari Beach, all it takes is a book and a bottle of water for those who enjoy a leisurely lifestyle to comfortably while away half a day on the sunlit shore, making it a favorite among travelers from around the world who come to see the black sands and enjoy life in the sunshine.
