Map & location
Kamari, Santorini, Greece
Cool Kamari sits on Santorini’s east coast, backed by the dramatic slope of Ancient Thera and fronted by a long black-pebble beach. Afroditi Venus Beach Resort has a prime patch right on the pedestrian promenade, so you’re steps from the sea and within a short stroll of cafés, tavernas, gelato spots and low‑key cocktail bars.
The car-free waterfront makes evening walks especially atmospheric – think lantern‑lit terraces, live music drifting across the promenade and the silhouette of the mountain after dark. When you want caldera views and sunset cocktails, the island capital Fira is an easy hop by bus or taxi.
- Approx. transfer time from airport 60 minutes
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
You’ll find three freshwater pools dotted around the resort, giving you options whether you want to splash with the kids or curl up with a book:
• Main outdoor pool with whirlpool section and plenty of loungers and parasols
• Additional outdoor pool with sunbathing terrace – often a touch quieter
• Shallow children’s pool with its own section for little ones
Pool towels are complimentary, saving precious suitcase space.
Kamari’s black-pebble beach is just over the promenade – simply cross the walkway and you’re on the shore. The gently shelving seabed and crystal‑clear water make it great for a morning dip or hiring a pedal boat, and the setting under the cliff of Ancient Thera is pure Santorini drama.
Spa, sports & wellness
The small on‑site spa focuses on pampering and relaxation, with massages and beauty treatments available for ages 18+ (extra charge, seasonal opening hours). It’s ideal for unwinding after a day exploring the caldera villages or island wineries.
While there’s no full-scale sports programme, the seafront location is perfect for early‑morning jogs or sunset walks along the promenade. Nearby operators offer boat trips, water sports and excursions around the island which can usually be arranged via reception.
Around the property, you’ll find:
• Reception and concierge services
• Luggage storage for early arrivals/late departures
• Equipment hire including kettles and mobility scooters (local charges apply)
• Restaurant highchairs for families
Facilities and opening times can vary slightly by season and occupancy.

Food & drink
Start the day with a generous buffet breakfast at Afroditi Buffet, served by the pool in a bright, relaxed space. Expect hot and cold options, pastries, fruit and Greek touches like honey and yoghurt.
For lazy lunches and sunset dinners, Bubba Beach Restaurant & Bar fronts the sea with uninterrupted Aegean views. The menu leans into Greek and local flavours – fresh fish, Santorini tomatoes, salads, grilled meats – alongside international favourites. Come evening, it morphs into an atmospheric spot for cocktails and chilled music with the waves as your soundtrack.
Afroditi Pool Bar keeps you topped up with daytime drinks, coffees and snacks between dips. A smart-casual dress code usually applies in the main restaurant (no beachwear), and reservations/supplements can vary depending on your board basis – details are confirmed locally and may change between seasons.
