3Pelican Kipos Wine Restaurant (Fira)

Although not perched directly on the caldera, Pelican Kipos makes this list because of its unique rooftop setting surrounded by lush greenery.

Located in the center of Fira, it offers an oasis-like atmosphere paired with one of the best wine lists on the island. You can sample rare Santorini vintages and traditional dishes in a peaceful rooftop garden, away from the crowds but still within walking distance of the main viewpoints.
