Monolithos beach is located at the eastern part of Santorini, next to Kamari beach. In fact it’s the same beach starting from Perissa at the south and ending to Monolithos. It’s close to the airport, at a distance of about 9 km from Fira and is easily reached by bus.
The beach of Monolithos is long enough, with dark sand and shallow crystal clear water so it is suitable for families with young children. Its quieter and less touristy than the beaches of Kamari and Perissa but it does not have the shelter from strong winds.
Monolithos beach has sun beds and umbrellas as well as the natural shade offered by tamarisk trees. There is also a children’s playground and a basketball court on the beach. Here you will find a wide range of cafes and bars, taverns and restaurants, as well as hotel accommodation.
