7Arriving Without Dinner Reservations in High Season

If you’re visiting between June and September, expect the island’s best restaurants to be booked out days (or even weeks) in advance.

Whether you’re hoping for a clifftop dinner in Imerovigli, seafood in Ammoudi Bay, or a wine pairing in Exo Gonia, reservations are essential during high season. Don’t wait until you’re hungry to start looking—you might end up with a plastic chair and a view of a parking lot instead of the caldera.
