I prefer Kamari, it has more of a village feel to it than perissa, The beaches are black sand which can be off putting. You don't need many clothes for Greece, a couple of pairs of shorts and three or four tops, a couple of bikinis, wash them in the sink and hang them outside, there usually will be somewhere to hang them out, or take some string and a few pegs, cropped pants and a few strappy.

Kamari or Perissa??

I want to stay on a beach in Santorini. Which one is best? Kamari or Perissa. Or is it better to stay in Fria? How far are the beaches from Fria? I plan on going in the summer time.

i loved staying in Fira. I went to Kamari and Perissa as daytrip, both were fine, but nothing special (nice beach towns, as many other nice beaches). But staying in Fira over the Caldera rim, to have breakfast every day in front of the amazing views, and enjoying the sunsets at the end on a long sightseing day around the island, make the stay unforgettable. However, I guess Fira is not a good location if your main interest is beaching (beaches are about 1 hour away by bus)

Kamari is more organised and the sea is much cleaner and accessible. Perissa has a nice free atmosphere. If you plan to spend time on the beach it is better to stay in Kamari and take the bus in the afternoon for Fira and Oia or other places. That what I did.

The beach in kamari is more organized and has showers and changing boots every few meters and the atmosphere is different - in Perissa is kind of more space near the beach as the Tavernas don't cover both sides of the promenade - any way it is a feeling I got..

You can enjoy a great hike from Perissa to ancient Thera ;-)

There is a road from the Kamari side and only a path from Perissa.

I have been several times in Santorini and for me the best option would be to stay in Fira and then to move around during the day with the bus to kamari or to Perissa or to any other part of the island. I you are not having a rented car, to commutte from one place to the other of the island, is much cheaper and interesting to do it by bus during the day than by taxi at nights. If you do not want to stay in Fira, then I would choose Kamari which in my opinion is nicer than Perissa. No matter which place you choose, enjoy your holidays over there! Santorini is magic!
