Kamari lies on the east part of Santorini with a lovely, long beach with black sand. It is one of the most popular and developed coastal villages in Santorini and the beachfront road is dense with hotels, restaurants and bars. The site of Ancient Thera is located on the high cliff that dominates Kamari and is worth a visit as it is one of the oldest parts of the island that survived the volcanic eruption and as the remnants prove, it used to be a centre of civilization due to its privileged location overlooking the Aegean Sea.
