The island resort of Kamari is is situtated on the present day island of Santorini. The island was formed by a huge eruption over 3650 years ago leaving the legacy of a massive volcanic crater known as a caldera. The eruption has created spectacular volcanic precipices with terrifying sheer drops into the caldera. The peak of the still active remains of the volcano is manifested as a tiny island in the bay. If you've been looking for a highly amazing and unusual Greek island holiday then you're certain to discover the unique attractions of Santorini, so why not book a holiday in Kamari.

The Santorinian resort of Kamari offers a 2km length of gorgeous black sand and shingle beach lapped by the beatifully clear and tempting blue tinged waters of the Aegean sea, and so this resort is an splendid location for taking a sun-drenched, chilled out beach holiday.

There are also numerous watersport activities on offer including the rare opportunity to go diving in the volcanic underwater world that surrounds the island. The original village of Kamari was destroyed in 1956 by an earthquake, but modern day Kamari has now been developed into a superb tourist resort whihc is hard to beat for those seeking a sun-soaked, relaxing beach holiday.

Those who prefer to be in the centre of the action should consider a holiday at the Hotel Kamari Beach, is located exactly as described and right next door to all the restaurants, bars and shops on the along the busy beachfront. There are plenty of restaurants and places to eat near to Hotel Kamari Beach but for a greater choice, Kamari village itself offers even more culinary options. Mount Vouno at the south end of the beach lights up as the sun retires and this is when the bars, clubs, restaurants and nightlife start up. If you enjoy the facilities of a lively resort, but do not want to be based in the middle of it then you might be more interested in the Estia Studios or Maria Preka Studios both of which offer self catering accomodation in a less bustling part of Kamari. If you fancy a break away from the beach you could visit ancient Thira, try out local vinyards wineries or maybe take a boat trip around the island. The annual Santorini Jazz Festival has been running each year since 1997 and is based in the resort Kamari, usually during the August holiday season at the Kamari open air cinema.
