It’s tempting to stick to the usual Greek dishes, but Santorini has a distinct culinary identity rooted in its volcanic soil and island traditions.
Many travelers miss out on local delicacies like fava (yellow split pea puree), tomatokeftedes (fried tomato balls), or chloro cheese made from goat’s milk. And don’t skip the wine—Santorini’s Assyrtiko grape produces world-class whites. Visit wineries like Santo Wines, Venetsanos, or Gavalas for tastings and vineyard views that rival the best in the world.
