Kamari beach is one of the most popular black sand beaches of Santorini. Τhe area was not developed at all before 1956 when the big earthquake took place in Santorini.

The first foreign visitors started to arrive in 1970. Kamari beach was the first area to develop in a way that could host groups of tourists, and was the first area to welcome the first charter flights passengers. The area started to be a quite popular destination, and soon a lot of big hotels started to appear. Even today, some of the islands biggest resorts are found here.
