Top 5 Things to Eat in Santorini

We know you'll eat as much fish and seafood as you can (you can't help but to!) so here are some other things to try while you're on Santorini:

Here is what we recommend:



Santorini's cherry tomatoes: just like the renowned tomatoes of Napoli which prosper in the volcanic soil of Mount Vesuvius, the tomatoes of Santorini benefit from the same environment - growing up in volcanic soil so they come out juicy and tasty and perfect for salads and sauces. Available in grocery stores (keep an eye out for their unusual shape as in the picture above) and great fresh or sun-dried.

Tomatokeftedes (tomato-balls)​: make sure you order these from the menu in any Santorini restaurant or taverna. Deep-fried cherry tomatoes mixed with herbs, onions and other secret ingredient(s) each individual chef may choose.

White eggplant: another Santorini specialty available on all local restaurant menus, this sweet vegetable is available whole or as a paste (called 'melitzanosalata') perfect for pairing with bread and that Santorini wine everyone raves about.

Smashed fava beans: Served in every restaurant, you can eat these beans like hummous, as a paste with chopped red onions and olive oil,

Melitinia: These little delicacies are made of hand-prepared pasty stuffed with local soft cheese called “anthotyro” or “myzithra”. Order a round for dessert with honey and cinnamon on top or buy in any bakery while you're on the go.
