Marmit
An elegant cosy restaurant with refined cuisine and exceptional service, which will fully satisfy you. The Greek cuisine with lots of creative nuances. You should try everything! We have tried fava boiled with vegetables and sweet onions, a delicious full fresh cool salad and shrimps with Hios mastic; we loved them all. Here you will find one of the most updated cellars with Santorini wines and wines from all over Greece. Situated at the Square of Megalohori. Open also in Winter.

Raki
A very picturesque little taverna at the Square of Megalohori with local “mezedes” and a unique character. Raki and a variety of exquisite accompanying mezedes, our favourite being fried pie with honey and sesame. Economical prices.

Sea Side Lounge by Notos
Not only is it one of the most beautiful beach bars of the island, but also a restaurant we have adored even from its previous location in Vlyhada. The owner loves travelling and trying ethnic tastes, and that is where his influences derive from. It is interesting how Greek tastes fuse with elements from the Far East. I do not know exactly why but there are moments, when sitting at the relaxing ambiance of Sea Side by Notos, I feel as being in Zanzibar. Their desserts are also delicious, with “banofi” as number one.

Vinsanto restaurant and lounge
The red and iron elements create a very atmospheric and imposing interior space. Also impressive is the exterior space of the restaurant, where tables are spread at the terraces of the hyposkapha with the red sails waving in the wind. The creative Greek cuisine brings out wonderful results. Top desserts are the flat-leaved basil crème with tomataki glyko (small tomato-sweet of the spoon) and “melomarakona” with “loukoumi” (Turkish delight) cream.

Kyra Rosa
Going through the coastal road on your way from Fira to Oia, at the Vourvoulos village, you will meet Mrs Rosa. She is not old and fat , as you would probably expect! Her frying way is renowned all over Santorini! Fry fish, red mullets, tomatokeftedes (tomato balls) and devil fish with skordalia (garlic paste). From time to time you may find braized squab or rabbit (in red sauce) and some of Rosa’s creative dishes.

Giorgaros
The rustic scene you confront here “mom cooking, little daughter serving” is undoubtedly picturesque. One thing is for sure: you will not come here neither for the environment nor the service. You will come mainly for the fresh fish right from the family’s fishing boats. You will also find a lot of locals eating here. Ask for cautious frying.
