The beach of Monolithos is close to the beach of Kamari, in the area near the airport of Santorini. It is quite popular among the locals and especially families. It is long with black sand and shallow waters, well-organized with sunbeds and umbrellas. This beach reveals a pleasant atmosphere, that is why it is often crowded with children. The area is surrounded by various hotels and rooms, restaurants and cafes. There is a Kite surf school, football pitch, basketball court and for children a nice play area. There are also trees at the back of the beach for shade seekers.

Best family beach on Santorini. Sandy !!, shallow, sheltered, organized, clean and almost never overcrowded. Changing booths and showers. 5 euro (2 long chairs and sun umbrella) but you can just put a towel on the beach and nobody will bother you. Local cafe 5 min away but you can order on the beach. Cool and civilized except for some prats occasionally flexing their muscles on the beach or tapping on beach rackets but believe me they are not locals!

Monolithos is stretched along the airport. The beach of Monolithos is a perfect place for families with children. The beach is organized and the sea here is relatively shallow. You will find here enough free space to relax on the black sand. The landmark of the region is a grey rock with the church of St. John the Baptist on the top. The rock gave name to the village. Greek: Mono-lithos translates to “single rock”. Together with mountain of Mesa Vouno and Profitis Ilias, this is a nonvolcanic formation. So they stay in contrast to the rest of the island, which is covered with layers of volcanic ashes, gradually thickening with each of the 14 eruptions that took place within last 3500 years. The first Santorini tomato factory was built 1925-26 in Monolithos. At the beginning of the 20th century, when worldwide interest to Santorini wine declined dramatically, farmers switched to growing tomatoes. Export of Santorini tomatoes soon became very profitable and tomato factories were needed, to ensure effective sale to the most distant destinations. By the mid 20th century there were 13 tomato factories on the island. Currently only one is still operating in Monolithos. Apart from the above attractions Monolithos is stretched along the sea shore, so what it has to offer is so beach, beach, beach…. Strolling around: Monolithos has an organized black sandy beach that is more quiet and relaxing than adjacent Kamari. From the beach of Monolithos you can visit the church of St. John the Baptist on the rock. It will take you no more than 10 minutes to walk there. The tomato factory is by the square. If you like to have a walk, go along the beach to the north to see sophisticated forms of eroded volcanic rocks. You can find caves dug in there as well. A walk to the south will take you to Gaia Winery, which is set in an old tomato factory. This one is though at fair distance, more than 3 km from the square.
