Kamari is a beach resort situated ten kilometers southeast of Fira, on the exact opposite side of the island from Perissa.
The general landscape is much similar to Perissa: an impressive long and inviting black sandy beach, characterized by an enormous rock called Mesa Vouno that rises from the sea.
The area offers a great landscape, especially at night, when the rock is lighted.
The village of Kamari is not built in the same manner that Perissa. The houses of the village line the beach, and offer a nice walk (volta) by the sea.
The area is more crowded and offers a bigger diversity of hotels, rooms, restaurants, snacks, cafés, bars and night clubs.
The beach of Kamari is fully organised and offers all kinds of facilities like sun chairs, umbrellas and different types of water sports.
From Kamari, a road takes you up the mountain to Ancient Thira, and a caique (traditional fishing boat) can bring you to the wild isle of Anafi.
