Kamari ((ギリシア語:Καμάρι)) is a coastal village on the southeastern part of the Aegean island of Santorini, Greece, in the Cyclades archipelago with a population of approx. 1800 according to the 2001 census. It is part of the Municipality of Thira and is situated approximately 8 km away from the island's capital Fira. Kamari was built by residents of the nearby village of ''Episkopi Gonias'' ((ギリシア語:Επισκοπή Γωνιάς), also Μέσα Γωνιά), which was almost flattened by a devastating earthquake that hit Santorini in July 1956. The village got its name from a small arch ((ギリシア語:Καμάρα), Kamara) that still rises at the south end of its beach and is what remains from an ancient sanctuary dedicated to Poseidon. Today, it stretches along a beach covered with black pebbles, which is the longest of the island. The beach extends in a northeast to southwest direction from Monolithos to the feet of the ''Mesa vouno'' mountain that rises up to a height of approx. 400m, being Santorini's second highest peak. Once an agricultural and fishing village, modern Kamari boasts a thriving tourist industry, offering a wide choice of accommodation, restaurants, cafes, bars and night clubs, plus several water sport activities. In 2002, an archaic sanctuary dedicated to Achilles was discovered in Kamari. ==See also== *Ancient Thera *Sellada 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kamari」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
