5Perissa and Kamari – The Best Black Sand Beaches

Santorini’s volcanic origin has given rise to some extraordinary beaches, with Perissa and Kamari being the most famous black sand beaches. These lively beach resorts are perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and water sports.

Kamari, located near the island’s airport, has a long promenade lined with cafes and restaurants. Perissa, on the other hand, offers a more relaxed atmosphere with plenty of beach bars and lounge areas.
