The Santorinian gastronomy

The island of Santorini is a distinctive destination as far as gastronomy is concerned. The locally sourced products, the recipes, the wines you will have the chance to try here...are unique in the world. Bear in mind, of course, that Santorini belongs to Greece. A country universally recognized as a leading representative of the Mediterranean diet that has been scientifically proven as ideal for maintaining a good health and the appropriate weight and also considered a dietary practice for achieving longevity and wellness.

The island of Santorini grants us with numerous opportunities to be marvelously dined with delectable dishes and wined with its "ambrosia". Santorini is a culinary haven due to the locally sourced, delicious agricultural products grown in volcanic soil, watered by the sea and the evening humidity. Taste the unique 'fava' split peas, 'tomataki' cherry tomatoes, white eggplants, capers, broad beans, zucchini, cucumbers and melon. Grate the special "green" cheese over a dish of fresh barley pasta and enchant your palate. Dip the traditional crispbread into extra virgin olive oil and add a pinch of oregano. Feast in the freshest fish and seafoods you have ever tasted and accompany them with the immense variety of local wines. Finish your perfect day on the island by sipping slowly on the prestigious Vinsanto aperitif. Whether you go traditional or gourmet, it is certain that you will be delighted by the food here and you will be spoilt for choice of tavernas and restaurants at your disposal. In the year 2013, Santorini waved the flag of the leading gastronomic destination of the country...and beyond.
