Beach overall scores
Kambia beach (South Aegean) is located outside the Akrotiri settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Santorini island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Kambia beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"This beach offers great fishing opportunities and the chance to spot crabs and clams. It's the only beach in the area with rocks, which adds to its unique charm. In my opinion, it's the most stunning beach on Santorini. However, getting there can be a challenge due to the rough, gravel road that can be especially tricky for motorcycles. So, be careful and watch out for dust ..."

"This is a fantastic spot - serene, untamed, and stunning. However, it can be quite challenging to get to. Personally, I opted to paddle in by kayak from Mesa Pigadia, which was an enjoyable experience."
