Κάποτε ήτανε ένας άπιστος που είχε μία γυναίκα πιστή. Η γυναίκα του μιλούσε για την πίστη, αλλά αυτός δεν την άκουγε. Μια μέρα κάνανε μερικές ελιές και δεν προλάβανε να τις μεταφέρουνε από το λιοστάσι στο σπίτι και τις άφησαν εκεί έξω. Είπε ο σύζυγος: – Μην τις αφήνουμε εδώ, θα μας τις κλέψουν. ... https://orthodoxia.online/orthodoxia/o-apistos-agroikos-pou-emeine-kokkalo/?feed_id=17862&_unique_id=64177fbfd43d9

Witamy w KOKKALO (https://kokkalosantorini.com)

Kokkalo to pierwsza restauracja, w której jadłem, kiedy przyjechałem tu pierwszy raz i zapamiętałem ja pysznie, przyjemnie i pięknie :)

"Kokkalo to greckie słowo oznaczające „kość”. Kości tworzą solidne struktury i wspaniale utrzymują postawę, ruch i aktywność każdego ciała. Chcemy myśleć, że w Restauracji Kokkalo zaznasz odważnych doznań kulinarnych!"

Zamówiliśmy oczywiście:

Tzatziki :)

Grillowane kiełbaski nadziewane serem feta, Podawane z domowym sosem musztardowym

Delikatny filet z kurczaka w sosie serowym gruyere, Podawany ze maślanym ryżem

Kurczak souvlaki z pomidorami, świeżym chlebkiem pita i sosem

Kawałeczki pieczonej wieprzowiny z pomidorkami cherry

The best restaurants in Santorini, Greece

This, of course, isn't a definite list. We didn't even try a fraction of what the culinary world of Santorini has to offer and I am sure there are plenty of equally fantastic or better places. But by these 5 restaurants stood out for us and came recommended by other travelers and locals.

Hope you're not hungry!

1. Μεταξύ Μας / Metaxi Mas 9FQ5+H2 Exo Gonia, Greece www.santorini-metaximas.gr

Metaxi Mas is a must whether you take a taxi, rent a four-wheeler, or simply walk from the charming village of Pyrgos. (We were advised very strongly against doing the latter by a very nice lady at a souvenir store: "It's not possible to walk, it's in the next village! But it is a wonderful restaurant, you must make it there regardless," she said. We did it anyway and it took about half an hour of walking downhill.) And just like pretty much everyone we spoke to about Metaxi Mas promised, it is absolutely amazing. You won't find your regular horiatiki and moussaka here, but by the time you make it here, you've most likely had enough of those and will be excited to take a quick break. You'll also have a change of view, because the cozy terrace is overlooking the airport and the less photographed side of the island, which may be slightly less iconic but gorgeous nonetheless. We started with Smoked Fish in a Chickpea Stew and the moment we tasted the dish, we knew that it would be the best meal on the island. We continued with Shrimp saganaki finished with ouzo, tomato sauce, fennel and feta cheese, which I will remember for a long time. And then, for a finale, a Spicy fried pork with Assyrtiko Santorini wine (which we were about to learn all about at a nearby winery, Santo Wines) with peppers, onion, garlic, Santorini cherry tomatoes, feta cheese and boukovo—red pepper flakes. Were we full? Of course. Did we want more? Absolutely! It was our last day on Santorini, so we knew we wouldn't have time to return to Metaxi Mas, so we asked our lovely waitress if she could suggest just one more, small dish, simply because everything was so delicious that we'd love another bite. She said that her favorite thing on the menu was Oven-baked asparagus with Cretan graviera cheese and estragon, and we thought that a little asparagus appetizer would be a perfect finishing touch to this feast. Little did we know that the "small dish" is in fact a huge plate filled with lots and lots of hot, melty, delicious cheese (with a little bit of asparagus buried deep under). It was way more than we wanted but way too delicious to leave behind and a taxi to take us to the wine tour at Santo Wines was already waiting. We might have burnt our mouths a little but we finished the asparagus and our wonderful waitress brought us a dessert packed to go because she knew we had to go. If you're in Santorini right now and looking for some delicious food, I couldn't be more jealous of you!

2. To Psaraki Vlichada Marina, Vlichada 847 00, Greece www.topsaraki.gr

Near the southernmost tip of Santorini, at the end of Perivolos beach you'll find the charming Vlychada port. Arguably the best place to view it from (and definitely the most delicious one) is To Psaraki taverna. You'll have to drive or take a taxi there but the place is worth the trip. The actual restaurant is very nice but you really want to sit at the bright blue terrace across the street, which overlooks the port and the sea. Eating at To Psaraki feels like finding a hidden gem andt also like being on a Greek postcard at the same time.   The food is delicious and it starts from the very beginning—each table receives a bread basket and a portion of Santorini tomato paste with olive oil and oregano. (There is a tomato paste museum down the road, but it was still closed due to Covid when we visited.) We continued the feast with Fresh Greek mussels steamed with wine and spring onions (it's hard to imagine a more perfect dish to go with the view of sea and a distant smell of a seaport) after which a gorgeous Grilled Octopus arrived. Can't say that we were hungry anymore, but our main dish — fresh and homely amberjack was only about to be served. Accompanied by vegetables, tomatoes and a lemon, it was wonderful.

The restaurant overlooks the port and a short walkaway is Vlychada Beach with black sand, a beach bar and some amazing view of the cliffs, which makes it easy to spend a whole day in this small area.

3.  Kokkalo 25is Martiou 25, Thira 847 00, Greece kokkalosantorini.com

We arrived in Santorini midday and after the initial shock caused by the overwhelming beauty of the view from the plane, then the taxi and finally from our suite, we were ready to eat. We picked Kokkalo purely because it was the closest recommended restaurant from our suite. It did take some climbing (everything in Santorini involves countless stairs and hills) and then a short walk along a busy, narrow street, but the place was 100% worth it.

We were greeted by a very friendly and quirky lady with a very particular sense of humor and a tray with 2 glasses of strong, local liquor. Day drinking it is! After hearing that we just arrived on the island, she was quick to recommend a local specialty—Santorini tomato fritters. "If you're going to have them, you need to have them here," she said, "we have cooking classes and we teach how to make them here." Tomato fritters are very tasty, but to be completely honest, it is one of those dishes that you try once and don't necessarily need to order again anytime soon.

We also got the Santorini Greek Salad and Chicken Souvlaki, which were both absolutely delicious and anyone could eat them every day for a long time. The presentation of the chicken deserves a special shoutout—it is definitely an attention-grabber when it arrives at the table.

Kokkalo is totally a great spot—it may not overlook the volcano, but staring into the flat side of Santorini with Anafi island in the distance is a pure pleasure! Mix that with great food, chilled wine and lovely service and you have a fantastic experience!

4. Roka Mpotsari 6, Oía 847 02, Greece www.roka.gr

I'm not gonna lie, Roka was a bit of an accident (a great one though!) We hiked from Fira to Oia and we completely underestimated the time it would take us to complete the hike considering all the stops for wine, snacks, photos and views. They say that the hike takes from 3 to 6 hours and it did take us 6 hours (we're fast hikers but we stopped A LOT along the way to enjoy the views and wine) so when we finally got to Oia, we needed to eat before the sunset and most places were either booked or still closed because of Covid. We basically ran to check out Roka and it is semi-hidden in a maze of small, charming alleyways so we got a little lost trying to find it. We were greeted by a man who looked like he could be in a movie about a mafia-ran restaurant: white shirt and a tie, a sceptical gaze, a cigarette hanging from the corner of his mouth, and a brutal silence. He turned out to be our waiter and luckily he turned out to be very friendly, much contrary to our first impression of him.

We were seated at the small back patio lit by the setting sun and overlooking the sea and some less touristy parts of town and the island. The food was absolutely delicious yet presented in a slightly pretentious but cheesy way. It is not taverna food and obviously the chef is aspiring to a higher level of a dining experience. To start we were served rusk with olives and delicious tomato paste, which we learned was typical of Santorini, famous for its cherry tomatoes. Then we continued with ‘Imam Bayaldi’ with eggplant, shrimps, ’Oyzo’ glaze and chilli garlic mayo and Mushrooms Ragout on a sourdough bruschetta with caramelized onions, cream and gruyere sauce. Those two appetizers were quite Huge And Totally Satisfied Our Post-Hike Hunger, But We Had Two More Dishes Coming - Main Courses This Time.

Skioufikta - Traditional Greek Handmade Pasta with Caramelized Onion, Eggplant, Zucchini, Tomato and ’Xinoturi’ From Ios, which was light, delicate and delicious. The shape of pasta is a bit like cavatelli and is a perfect vessel for the summer flavors of this dish. Fresh Dorado Fillet came with fantastic Parsnip Puree, Braised Leek that melts in your mouth with Hazelnuts and was topped with long, thin crisps that gave it an additional texture. Satisfied and excited, we ran to the nearby Castle of Agios Nikolaos for a spectacular and unforgettable sunset.

5. Naoussa Fira Santorini Next to the Central Orthodox Cathedral of Fira Town Mitropoleos Fira Town, Thira 847 00, Greece naoussasantorini.restaurant

When we arrived at this gigantic taverna, it was empty, with the only two guests eating at a table near the windows. We decided to sit at the other table with a view—right next to the couple finishing their dinner. It turned out to be a quite an unfortunate choice because those guests were an extreme example of a married couple who goes out to talk to other people in bars and restaurants. We spent the entire dinner listening about the wealth, success and amazing life of our co-diners, all the houses, apartments, businesses and countless trips all over the world were described in detail whether we wanted it or not. We also learned the history of their relationship including tidbits like: "Would you believe that after not seeing me for 2 weeks my husband chose to take me out to eat sushi instead of taking me to the bedroom straight from the airport?"

But back to the restaurant, the food was delicious and the sunset view (when we managed to look away from our interlocutors) quite terrific. We started with Dolmades, which are vine leaves stuffed with lemony rice and happen to be one of my favorite small dishes. The leaves are the best when they're delicate and not veiny, the rice needs to be moist and the entire thing is best served room temperature or slightly warm. So good! We also had a tuna salad with hard boiled eggs, which looked a bit like mess but was packed with unexpected flavor. We finished with a whole fish, which was absolutely perfect.

We did drink a lot of wine and we took our time eating, listening to the forced stories and admiring the sunset. At some point the initially empty dining room filled up completely and then it emptied again. It felt like we experienced the whole circle of sunset dining crowd.

Day 18, 18 Jan 2019, Last 24 hours

In chronological order:

1. Best. Pasta. Ever. ironically in Greece (Pictures 1 and 2, Kokkalo Restaurant, Santorini)

2. The moment when you realise that the back view of passengers alighting from the ferry actually looks like a scene from The Walking Dead (Picture 3, Athens)

3. Went back to our favourite souvlaki hunt for the fifth time during our short transit in Athens (Pictures 4 and 5, Bouloukos Kebab, Athens)

4. After a long sojourn in the West, Asian stir-fry noodles make two happy and satiated men (Pictures 6 and 7, Street Wok, Athens)

5. Desserts fit for a king, featuring an unbeatable mille feuille with patisserie cream and "souflesi banana" (Pictures 8 and 9, Nancy's Sweet Home, Athens)

6. Became the unsuspecting target of a theft syndicate comprising of 6 members, who actually managed to nab 1 of our bags, only to find the waiter tapping her shoulder from behind to drop the bag. Kudos to the staff at Nancy's Sweet Home for watching our backs (and bags). (Picture 10, Nancy's Sweet Home, Athens)

Till next time, Athens.

Don-Perignon 🐴 but seriously a really solid hoppy nutty rounded IPA. Santorini brewed unfiltered 6.5 pct. And Kokkalo offers upmarket taverna fare at its best - well worth a meal here (at Kokkalo Restaurant) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWd-AmMBw-T/?utm_medium=tumblr

DAY 93, 94 Nov 2, 3 Santorini, Greece 🇬🇷

Woke up hoping Sam was feeling better but still has this stomach bug and needed to stay in and rest. Today I stayed with him just a bit then went to go explore a bit. Chels got ready for a run which turned into a hike and had an amazing day exploring and walking a lot the coast/cliff side of the island moving toward Oia. Two miles in saw a huge rock feature and noticed steps going up to it and a path around it so decided to find the way down and explore! Found out it was a hike to skaros rock and it was incredibly beautiful! Just wish Sammy was here to see it too! So as chels hiked down she had to move past a dozen donkeys on the path which was super scary because it was on the edge, but made it and hiked down down down sooo many steps! Then up up up and made it to the rock! noticing a church on the front side below the rock chels decided to go explore that and had some handstand fun! Then began the journey back and it was so many stairs up, but was so worth the climb! Then ran back to the suite, to check on Sam then went out again to grab an açaí bowl and a smoothie for Sam. Together we hung out and watched an amazing sunset again.

Next day our anniversary! We have been married three years now! Time flies when you are with your person! Sam was feeling a bit better today YAY! We had breakfast together and laughed and enjoyed each other’s company. We went out for the day and explored thira the part of santorini we are staying in and walked around quite a bit then sat and enjoyed the views together.

We had planned to go to the beach, but Sam was starting to feel crummy again, so we went back and relaxed outside enjoying the sunshine and some smoothies and had made reservations for a restaurant at 6:30. We got ourselves ready and headed up to the cafe/bar of iriana to get our welcome drinks. We didn’t get them when we first came because we were sick, so we enjoyed the sunset and our drinks then we went to Kokkalo it was nice the food was good!

Sam got lamb and Chels got seafood risotto and both delicious but Sam was not feeling good again so we finished and went back. On the way we stopped to get chels some gelato :) then relaxed at the suite.
