From here it’s simple to hop into Fira, the island’s lively capital, for caldera views and sunset cocktails, then retreat back to your peaceful base by the sea.

Kamari’s seafront promenade starts just a short walk from the hotel, giving you a huge choice of tavernas, cafés and cocktail bars for lunch and dinner. From fresh seafood and meze to low-key beach bars, you can eat somewhere different every night.
