Restaurants-Taverns

1) Tavern Scaramagas at Monolithos beach (opposite the Airport) a very traditional place with fresh fish, they have a kaiki to supply their shop and others, and it is family business the father and son fishing, the mother in the kitchen and daughter in low with daughter serving the people. Tel:22860.

Specialties: Tomatokeftedes and white eggplants cooked with Santorini tomatoes onions and olive oil. Very very cheap. Friendly people I take my clients there and they love it.

2) Svago Italian Restaurant at Perivolos beach. A very nice place we stop here through our tour to swim, have a cold drink or Caputsino Fredo and for those that like pasta Spaghetti Di Mare with fresh mussels, clams and shrimps, or Spaghetti Tomata Fresca with Santorinian cherry tomatoes (I bet you have tried them!!). Tel for bookings: 22860.81508 Cesare

3) Katina fish Tavern in Amoudi the little port under Oia. Here you can have Calamari and Octopus on the charcoal Chorta which is boiled like spinach for salad with fish and Fava.

We suggest this place for the evenings very busy in the summer. Tel: 22860.71280.

4) Captain Dimitris . It is on the road to the light house before the Village of Akrotiri turn right3 Km. I start going to this place this winter it is like Scaramagas the family runs the place fresh fish,varius mezedes (starters) and home made wine rose or white that you can drink a barrel!!

Beaches

Monolithos near the Airport. It is small bay shallow water, fine sand some trees you can lie under there are also umbrellas and benches to hire and a small shop to get cold drinks and ice cream or a snack.

Perivolos is the famous Black Sandy Beach and it ends down South in Perrisa the second biggest resort after Kamari.Here are hundreds of Cafes, Restaurants, mini markets, and a few Beach Bars where through the day are full with youngsters drinking shots, (sfinakia) dancing, sunbathing, playing Beach Volley, swimming, or do water sports like Jet ski Parachuting, Water ski, and maybe Wind Surfing (what I do but not in the summer!!)

Vourvoulos. Near to Fira.For people who do not like the crowd Vourvoulos it is very quiet only a Tavern but I would not suggest. Maybe get only a drink or salad. (I live in Vourvoulos in the old Village.)

Pori On the way to Oia by the coast after Vourvoulos. Another quiet small beach away from the crowds with only one Tavern I used to go there but the last times we eat there was not that good, but the wine is home made and very strong if they do not add water!! They usually do.

Captain Dimitris . It is on the road to the light house before the Village of Akrotiri turn right3 Km. I start going to this place this winter it is like Scaramagas the family runs the place fresh fish,varius mezedes (starters) and home made wine rose or white that you can drink a barrel!!

OK. Hope your readers enjoy these places. Remember to tell them that if they need someone to show them around the island to come and visit my website.
