5Cuisine: Local Wine and Gourmet Dining vs. Cosmopolitan Flavors

Santorini’s volcanic soil produces distinctive local ingredients. The island is known for cherry tomatoes, white eggplants, capers, and especially Assyrtiko wine. Many restaurants offer fine dining with a focus on local produce and breathtaking views.

Mykonos has a more cosmopolitan food scene, catering to international visitors. You’ll find everything from traditional tavernas to upscale fusion restaurants. Its culinary scene mirrors its party vibe—global, trendy, and stylish.
