 View from Kastro Bar by Orkaena This fine restaurant in Oia is located looking straight to the sunset. The foods are very well arranged and tasty. The service is excellent and they are attentive to details. The ambience is calm, smooth music, the tables in the open air surrounded by the traditional architecture of the village.
Is very difficult to choose only one dish. But my favorite is the Crabs Salad, but you can choose the Terra Salad too (ground salad or something like that), or the delicious crepes with different kinds of seafoods, cheese and vegetables.

The Taverna Sunset was the restaurant where the 1st official Euromeet2007 dinner was held.I had really worked up an appetite having walked down that long zigzagging donkey trail from Oia.Unlike most of the restaurants where we ate this one was on the beach instead of clifftop on the edge of the Caldera.The Taverna specialize in fresh fish which Jeff liked. I had the grilled chicken which was good as well. I really like the location on the water and like it's name it would be a great spot to watch a famous Oia sunset, but the best part was meeting so many VTers in person. Stephanie & Garry came bearing gifts of VT t-shirts, pins, visors, etc. A fun time was had by all. Leave a Comment Theme: SeafoodDirections: On the beach at Ammoudi below Oai

 Octopus, Anyone? by soccergrrl On both Santorini and Naxos we found the best fish! It's obvious that the fishermen go out in the morning, and you are eating your choice of their catch that same night. Almost everywhere the routine is the same: you order a fish (or select it from the ones on ice in a glass case) and it is simply grilled on the restaurant's barbecue grill. Along any waterfront you can see the cases of fish and other sea creatures (like octopus and squid), and often you can see the chef grilling (as you can see in the photo). We ate outside, right next to the water, where all the boats were tied up.
If you enjoy fresh, simply prepared seafood you'll like anything you order! We'd never heard of a couple of types the fish before -- and when we asked about them, the waiter described the taste and took us to the case to show us.

 The Kastro restaurant by Saagar In search of a sunset view and dessert we came to the Kastro and did not regret it. Excellent service and we were given a good spot despite not asking for a meal.
Most diners and sunset viewers appeared to opt for the romantic full-three-course dinners with champagne or local white. Seafood was the highlight on the menu, but we were happy with ice cream, furit salad with youghurt, vinsanto and good coffee. Expensive, compared to similar places without sunset view...

My favorite restaurant on Santorini was Restaurant Skala in the village of Oia. It was a very windy day and had been raining off and on but this did not stop us from choosing Skala with it's patio dining after reading the menu which had Italian Pasta dishes as well as some traditional Greek food. I was really in the mood for pasta and the covered patio was sheltered with a clear plastic all around which did not obstruct the panoramic view. For a starter they brought us bread and a dip made of smashed Santorini yellow peas which was not my favorite but the best a I had tasted compared to other restaurants in Santorini . For the main Jeff and I ordered the stuffed vegetables and farfalle with vegetables, bacon and wine sauce. The stuffed vegetables were a roasted tomato and a roasted bell pepper filled with a seasoned rice mixture. The Farfalle Pasta dish had a white sauce and reminded me of Pasta Carbonara. We really enjoyed our meals , the friendly service and beautiful view of both the architecture on the Caldera and the Aegean Sea.

We arrive in Oia late morning – too early to eat – and decided to stop at the Skiza café for a drink before going on into the heart of Oia. Skiza sells pizza and pastries (there is a good selection of cakes on display), but it was too early for us to be tempted. There was a nice rooftop terrace with a pleasant view (my panorama picture of the Caldera was taken from there). We just had one drink each – frappe for me and Sprite for Liz, and sat and looked at the view. It wasn’t particularly expensive either.

 Katina Taverna by ncoutroulis When I asked a local shop keeper in Fira, where I could find the freshest octopus and fish, he told me Katina Taverna, in Amoudi Bay. I didn't know what to expect, but this place turned out to be our favorite taverna. The owner, Kostas is also the fisherman. The restaurant if right on the water, and the seafood is simply the best. It's nothing fancy, just fresh grilled fish, octopus, calamari, and all the mezes that go along with them. I highly recommend it.
The octopus, or the tsipoura. Leave a Comment Theme: SeafoodPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: amoudi bayDirections: the first taverna as you enter amoudi bay

This restaurant has such wonderful views over to the Caldera, it makes it a very relaxing experience. It was early evening when I went and it was quiet. The staff are attentive and it was a pleasant place to sit and eat.
I had a starter of Moules then Santorini Beef, followed by ice cream cake, along with red Santorini wine. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalComparison: about averageAddress: OiaPhone: 22 860 71294Directions: In the main square next to the church.

We had been strolling around Oia for a couple of hours, and decided it was time to find some lunch. We intended to avoid the most touristy places if we could, but having walked back into the middle of Oia we decided to find somewhere quickly. Strogili did look rather touristy at first sight, but the menu on display was reasonable, and we could see there was a decent-sized roof terrace, so up we went. As you can see from the second and third pictures, the terrace was well-furnished (nice squashy cushions on the seats) and there were views to both sides. We both had salads, a Mimosa for me, with orange, banana, grapes, lettuce and a slightly spicy sauce, and parmesan and rocket salad for Liz, with tomatoes, croutons and balsamic vinegar. We followed that with a delicious bowl of yoghurt and honey, which we shared, and only just managed to finish between us. Drinks and cover charge took the bill to 36 euros for the two of us. A very pleasant lunch, and a great view as well. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalComparison: about averageDirections: Right in the centre of Oia, on the main tourist route.

by Gokcecicek Excellent view, with perfect food :) If the weather is nice, I highly recommend to reserve a table at the roof. There are two options for the reservation, either around 20:00 or around 22:30. Take the 20:00 o'clock option. Prices are high, but it surely deserves, especially if you want to have an unforgettable night. Here is the logo of the restaurant. (It may be very difficult to have reservation due to the season. So do it a few days before the night you want to be there.)
All dishes are delicious. You have many options. All the meze (entry plates) are for two people :)) Leave a Comment Theme: DinerPrice: US$41 and up » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: Oia, Santorini (Thera), 84702,Phone: +30 (22860) 71485Directions: Cyclades Islands, GreeceWebsite: http://www.oia-1800.com/
