Getting There and When to Go

For those travelling from the UK, reaching Kamari is simple. Many package holiday providers offer direct flights to the main airport on the island, meaning you can be checking into your hotel just a few hours after departing from northern airports. The flight time is typically manageable, making it a popular choice for those wanting to maximise their time in the sun.

The best time to visit is during the shoulder months of May and June, or September and October. During these periods, the weather is comfortably warm, the sea is perfect for swimming, and you avoid the intense heat and larger crowds of the mid-summer peak. Even in the cooler months, the region remains a beautiful place to enjoy a stroll through the local streets.

Beaches and Resorts

The coastline of Kamari is famous for its distinctive dark volcanic sands, which create a striking contrast against the vivid blue of the Aegean Sea. The beach here is well-organised, with rows of sunbeds and umbrellas available for those who want to spend their days relaxing with a book. The promenade running alongside the shore is the heart of the resort, lined with spots to grab a drink or enjoy a meal while listening to the sound of the waves.

Food and Things to Do

Dining in this region is a relaxed affair. Visitors can enjoy fresh Mediterranean flavours, ranging from locally caught fish to traditional Greek salads and grilled specialities. The atmosphere in the evenings is laid-back, perfect for a long dinner as the sun sets over the horizon.

Beyond the beach, the area is excellent for those who enjoy a bit of light activity. You can spend your days participating in various watersports, walking along the coastal paths to take in the views, or simply exploring the local town centre. The combination of easy-going beach life and the unique geology of the island makes every day feel like a true holiday.

Kamari suits travellers who appreciate a well-rounded holiday experience. It is particularly popular with couples who want a stylish base for their trip, as well as families who value the proximity of the beach to their accommodation.
