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.

More ideas

Rent a quad or car to explore the island, join a caldera catamaran cruise with sunset dinner, visit the Akrotiri archaeological site, walk the Fira to Oia hiking trail, and finish with dinner at a family-run taverna on the Kamari promenade.
