Why go

Monolithos is a practical beach option for families and travellers who prefer a quieter east-coast atmosphere to the caldera towns.

Airport proximity

The airport is nearby, which is convenient for transfers but means aircraft noise can be noticeable. Check your exact accommodation location if this matters to you.

Getting there

Seasonal bus provision can change. Check KTEL before travelling, or use a car/taxi if your schedule is tight.

Combine it with

Kamari, Exo Gonia and inland villages can be combined with Monolithos on an east-side driving day.
