Friendly, and down-to-earth staff help to make the experience memorable and the all Greek wine list is particularly strong on the local Santorini offerings.

6. Sunset Taverna
$$ | |The first of the Ammoudi fish houses that opened in the 1980s is still a standout among the several excellent tavernas that line the quay in this tiny fishing port just below Ia—you can walk down and take a cab back to town. Lapping waves, bobbing fishing boats, and tables so close to the water's edge that a clumsy move might add a swim to the evening's entertainment, testify to the freshness of the fish, which is simply grilled. Most diners arrive in time to witness the sunset, but the meal often steals the show.

- Sunset dining
- Excellent seafood

7. Candouni
$$ | |A jasmine-shaded front garden, candle-lit at night, and an antique-filled salon are the charming settings in a centuries-old sea captain's house for this traditional family taverna. All the classics are there but perhaps the best approach is to order from the sizeable meze selection, wash it down with the very palatable house white, and soak in the cozy atmosphere.
Ia, Santorini, 84702, Greece22860-71616Known For
- Intimate and romantic
- Family concern—mom cooks and son serves
- Live Greek music some evenings

8. FelafeLAND

- Heaven for vegans and vegetarians
- Bargain value
- Handy location near the bus station
-
9. Forty One
$$ | |In a former historic tomato cannery off the Ayios Georgios section of Perivolos Beach, Forty One is a chic, stylish destination for fine Mediterranean dishes, with a calming sea view. Besides creatively presented favorites like regional salads, risotto, pasta, and freshly grilled seafood plates, there are a host of creative cocktails that steal the show and make a fine accompaniment to taking in the black-beach sunset.

10. Franco's Cafe
$ | |The hangout that is such a caldera-side hit in Fira also has a welcoming presence in Pyrgos, where cocktails and light snacks are served on breezy terraces overlooking the village, vineyards, and the sea. This spot is especially popular at sunset, but does a brisk business throughout the day, when the bar brews great coffee.
Pyrgos, Santorini, 84700, Greece22860-33957Known For
- Sunset drinks from the highest village
- Classical soundtrack
- A hike to reach it
-
11. Metaxi Mas
$$ | |It seems that just about everyone in Santorini looks forward to a meal at this village taverna. Even though the name means "between us," the secret is out and the key to success appears to be to keep it simple—the kitchen sticks to traditional home-style cooking from Santorini and Crete. You can only reach this rural outpost by car or taxi, though Fira is just a 10-minute ride away, so do make a reservation before you leave.
Exo Gonia, Santorini, 84700, Greece22860-31323Known For
- Hearty delicious Greek plates
- Relaxed, simple home-style cooking
- Nice rustic views
-
12. Mezzo
$$ | |A cute wooden doorway leads to three levels of dining terraces that mean getting that all-important cliffside view is easier here than most and the international menu is no slacker either. Asian and Indian flavors mix with Mediterranean tastes to offer something a little different from your traditional taverna.

13. Naoussa
$$ | |Old-fashioned Greek fare, made with care and served by a friendly and accommodating staff, can be enjoyed on a breezy balcony; tables at one end get a caldera view. The decoration won't win prizes but the view will. Many consider the moussaka, served in an earthenware pot, to be the best on the island.

- Traditional Greek plates
- Beautiful view
- Live music most evenings

- Perfect pizza
- Awesome Greek sweets
- Big blue view
-
16. Sphinx Wine Bar and Restaurant
$$$ | |A lovingly decorated mansion is home to the best cellar on the island with a deep and extensive international list. The food is no afterthought though; eclectic and creative magic goes on in the kitchen as a mainly Mediterranean menu is put through its paces. The rooftop terrace is a favorite for sunset views, but the vaulted-ceilinged dining room can be a wiser option on blustery summer evenings—either way, it is a wonderful place to spend an evening.
Ia, Santorini, 847 02, Greece22860-71450Known For
- Excellent wine selection—more than 400 labels
- Romantic and historic setting
- Super knowledgeable staff

17. The Dolphins
$$ | |A jetty juts out into the sea and is a memorable setting for lunch, while on calm nights the moon playing off the water makes this quiet outpost on the southern end of the island one of the most romantic spots around. By day it's not unusual to see fish being hauled into the kitchen fresh from the docks. Lobster spaghetti, a quick meal fishermen used to prepare in their boats, is the speciality, and the fresh catch kept on ice is nicely grilled and served with generous salads.
Akrotiri, Santorini, 84700, Greece22860-81151Known For
- Idyllic dining on the beach
- Simple, fresh seafood plates
- A short walk from Akrotiri Museum and Red Beach
