Guidebook for Santorini
Food Scene
Our favorite places to eat around the island.
Great atmosphere and often a place to catch live music from local artists. Romantic candle-lit setting under the bougainvillea. Candouni is located across from the house! We love their fava and be sure to save room for dessert the walnut pie is the best!

If you have time during your stay to explore other parts of the island, we defiantly recommend making a reservation. Very popular with locals and visitors. Try going in the afternoon to beat the crowds, take a walk through the beautiful village of Exo Gonia to get a feel of the past.
Ps. The Kataifi is a must!

Ammoudi Is a must-visit during your stay. Either for a swim at Agios Nikolas and a post-swim lunch or a sunset dinner by the sea. Don't miss a chance to explore Oia's famous port.

For a quick hike from the house, you can head up to "Stavros," which is one of the churches on the path. It only takes a brisk 30-ish minute to reach, and it offers incredible views. We highly recommend catching the sunrise or sunset from there. It's a steep incline on rocky terrain so please bring water and proper shoes.
