Restaurants
1800
Most visitors sit on the terrace with the pergola to have a magical view while enjoying the best creative Mediterranean cuisine in Oia, for which it has repetitively received many distinctions. The energy of the Kapetanospito (Captain’s House), built in 1840, is all over the garden and the interior of the house. The furniture is authentic and placed in the original positions. Very interesting is the wine list with very good prices in local wines.

Kyra Katina
Every single visitor of Santorini has tried Mrs Katina’s cooking. Both celebrities and non-celebrities. A reference point at Ammoudi with home-made taramosalata, Santorini fava, fishes and octopus cooked skillfully on the grill. Also her tomatokeftedes (tomato balls) are very popular.

Ambrosia
Two terraces at different levels, a few tables with long white tablecloths, red roses and plain white colour all around. Ideal for couples in love. From this point you cannot see the sunset, for it is from the side the Caldera overlooks Fira, but at dusk time the horizon overflows with colours. The perfect place for making your wedding proposal. The scenery and view are superb and the same goes for the Meditteranean cuisine dishes.

Ambrosia and Nectar
One of the most elegant restaurants in Oia, belonging to people who really know about finesse, since they are the owners of Ambrosia and the Kapetanospito. Do not be deceived by the fact that it does not have a view on the Caldera, for it has its own way to compensate and reward you. You should not miss it! The romantic setting, exquisite “art de la table” and outstanding Mediterranean cuisine dishes will captivate your heart.

Ammoudi
The absolute definition of the fish taverna by the sea right on the wave. Choose a scorpion fish and ask Dimitris to grill it for you on charcoal in foil with garlic, salt and pepper. Should you sit right below the sign of the taverna, you will place the bread basket on the marble mooring-post right by you. It has been standing there since the early 19th century, when Ammoudi was the commercial port of Santorini. Here the ships used to carry pumice. Take photos of your company with the taverna yellow walls at the background and definitely save poses in your camera for the sunset. The sun vanishes behind Thirasia and from the specific spot of the bay you have the longest sunset duration!
Ammoudi, tel: 22860-71606
Sunset
Paraskevas has the oldest fish-taverna in Ammoudi and for eighteen years now he has been honoring his mother’s recipes from Costantinople, as well as local recipes of the island. Ask for a table at the end of the dock.
Ammoudi, tel: 22860-71614
Karma
Scenery taken from “Thousand and one nights”. Oriental patio, big cushions, nargilehs, flowers, ceramic jars, lit torches! And within this atmospheric environment, a particularly well-made ethnic cuisine: from sushi and spring rolls to different noodles, duck, salmon with wasabi sauce.
