10 Best Things to Do in Kamari, Santorini
From ancient ruins to open-air cinema nights, discover the top activities and attractions in and around Kamari village.
Explore Ancient Thera
Hike or drive up Mesa Vouno to Ancient Thera, the archaeological site of a 9th-century BC city with breathtaking views over Kamari, Perissa and the Aegean. Go early to avoid the heat.
Watch a film at Cinema Kamari
The open-air Cinema Kamari is a Santorini institution: classic and new films under the stars, with cocktails and snacks, set in a garden just off the main road.
Wine tasting at local Santorini wineries
Santorini is famous for its Assyrtiko white wine and sweet Vinsanto. Several wineries are within a short drive of Kamari, including Venetsanos, Santo Wines and the Wine Museum in nearby Vothonas.
Take the water taxi to Perissa
In summer a small boat connects Kamari and Perissa beaches around the Mesa Vouno headland. It is a fun way to explore another black sand beach and the neighbouring resort.
