Map & location
Kamari, Santorini, Greece
Epavlis Hotel & Spa sits on a gentle hillside above Kamari, one of Santorini’s liveliest beach resorts on the east coast. From here, you’re close to the island’s famous black-sand shoreline, yet slightly elevated for peaceful nights and lovely views of the surrounding mountains that separate Kamari from Perissa.
The car-free seaside promenade, lined with tavernas, cafés and cocktail bars, is an easy stroll away, while Santorini’s capital Fira – with its sunset terraces and boutiques – is just a short taxi or bus ride for a change of scene.
