Kambia Beach is
13 km from
Fira, the island's capital, within the village of
Akrotiri, and on the southwestern side of Santorini.
It is well-placed between Red beach and White beach, two other well-known beaches renowned for their views. Kambia is easily accessible by vehicle. It is a 15-minute trip down a dirt road to this tranquil haven. Alternatively, a private transfer is ideal for a hassle-free ride.
A tranquil escape
Kambia is a tranquil, private experience compared to more bustling beaches of Santorini. This small, charming beach has huge volcanic stones adding a special charm and pure turquoise waves lapping at its shores. The beach is a great place to relax as it is somewhat shaded by the tall cliffs that surround it.
Easy access to the water
Access to the water is quite difficult because of the rocky seabed. However, Kambia provides an easy alternative with a platform that makes access to the water much easier. This thoughtful gesture ensures that guests can easily enjoy the cool waters.
Limited amenities and local flavor
While Kambia is a relatively quiet beach, it is semi-organized, offering a few umbrellas and sunbeds for rent. Near the beach, you can find a typical Greek tavern and a snack bar where you can rest and have cool drinks and regional dishes, including fresh fish from the surrounding waters. This is a perfect spot to enjoy the view and flavors of the island.
A peaceful retreat from the crowds
What makes Kambia so special is that it is not among the most popular beaches in Santorini. Far from the noise of more famous spots, Kambia is a haven of peace and quiet, with its spotless waters, breathtaking views, and scrumptious food. This is an ideal destination for those who want to see Santorini at a slower pace and enjoy the natural beauty of the island.
Kambia Beach is the ideal spot for a relaxing day out, whether your goals are to swim, sunbathe, or just take in the calm and quiet of nature.
