Kamari Santorini: Kamari is a famous beach resort of Santorini situated 10 km southeast of Fira, the island's capital. Quite similar to the landscape of Perissa, the beach is covered by black sand while on the left side of the beach is an enormous rock called Mesa Vouno that rises from the sea. The area is extremely attractive, especially at night when the rock shines in the dark.
Bets wine, best fresh fish all over the beach.

Santorini's volcanic history has led to the formation of some of the more unique beaches in the Greek Isles, and Kamari is no exception. Sitting about 4 miles southeast of Fira on the island's east coast, this stretch of black sand is one of the largest in Santorini. The beach is backed by the town of its namesake, a popular resort area where you'll find numerous hotels, restaurants, beachside bars and shops. On the beach, visitors can take advantage of the available lounge chairs and umbrellas.
Travelers enjoyed the clear blue waters of Kamari and suggested planting your feet towards the southern portion of the shore. That's because the views of the imposing Mesa Vouno hill, where you can find Ancient Thira, makes for a picture-perfect Greek beach setting. No matter where you decide to kick back on Kamari Beach, travelers strongly suggest bringing protective footwear. The sand and pebbly terrain can get quite hot with the sun beating down on it, especially after a couple hours, so bring sandals if you're hoping to spend the day on the beach. Some visitors even suggested bringing water shoes, commenting that the underwater terrain at the shore quickly goes from sand to slippery solid rock.

The beach that runs along the shore from Kamari on is their premier beach. It's black sand, not fine sand, and very commercial. Be prepared to rent one of the hundreds of chairs and umbrellas that run almost uninterrupted along with the shops, restaurants and bars just behind the beach. There were very few areas where there was "public" access.

4/5 - Good

Kanari is one exclusive area ideal for shopping and restaurants. Beach was nice, but water was cold even though it was a hot day.

There are many sunbeds to lay on, but you must order from the associated restaurants to lay on them.  If you do not want to do that, you can bring a towel and lay on the beach, but it is quite pebbly.  The water is wonderful.

4/5 - Good

Good to go see due to the landscape but definitely not a place for swimming , too many rock. Also you would need shoes for the sand. It is black and gets very very hot. You cannot walk with base feet
