Map & location
Kamari, Santorini, Greece
Nissia Apartments enjoys a coveted spot on Kamari’s seafront, with the black-sand and pebble beach literally steps away. The car-free promenade runs right in front of the hotel, lined with casual tavernas, cafés, beach bars and mini-markets – ideal if you like to stroll out in the evening with plenty of choice on the doorstep.
Beyond the beach, Kamari makes a great base for exploring Santorini. Hike or drive up to the ruins of Ancient Thera for wide-open views over the island, or head to Fira, the lively capital, for clifftop sunsets and rooftop cocktails before slipping back to Kamari’s softer-paced vibe.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The heart of Nissia Apartments is its cosy outdoor freshwater pool, framed by sunbeds and umbrellas for long, lazy days in the Greek sun. A built-in whirlpool section adds a little extra indulgence after a day of sightseeing, and water toys are permitted – handy if you’re travelling with little ones.
The pool area generally operates between late April and late October, with opening dates and facilities subject to seasonal change.
When you’re ready for the sea, Kamari’s striking black-sand beach is just across the promenade. Sunloungers and parasols (local charge) dot the shore, and the gentle Aegean waters are perfect for cooling dips with that dramatic volcanic backdrop.
Spa, sports & wellness
This is a low-key, relax-and-unwind property rather than a big resort, so the focus is on simple comforts and personal service. There’s no on-site spa or formal sports programme, but the concierge team can help you arrange local excursions, boat trips, wine tours or car hire to explore the island at your own pace.
On-site you’ll find:
• Outdoor freshwater pool with whirlpool section
• Sun terrace with loungers and umbrellas
• Pool bar serving drinks and snacks
• Free Wi‑Fi throughout
• Reception (14 hours per day) with concierge-style assistance
• Luggage storage for early arrivals/late departures
• Equipment hire including kettle and motorised scooter (charges may apply)
Kayaking, paddle-boarding, hikes and boat tours are available locally along Kamari’s beachfront and in nearby Fira and Oia.
