Local cuisine: The sunshine and the Aegean breeze combined with the island’s fertile volcanic soil nurture the local agricultural products in Santorini. The most renowned products from Santorini are: Fava beans, white aubergines, capers, cherry tomatoes and wine. We recommend trying the traditional Greek salads (horiatiki salata), Dolmades (vine leaves stuffed with minced beef and/or herby rice), Briam (aubergines, courgettes, peppers & tomatoes - ratatouille style), and Moussaka (layers of minced lamb with aubergine & white sauce). Also, don’t miss out on Santorini's dessert specialty, Melitinia – soft goats cheese pastries. Santorini is also famous its wine and of course Ouzo which are both something to try whilst you’re there.
Known for: Dramatic views and towering cliffs, whitewashed villages, stunning sunsets from Oia town, delicious Greek food and drink and its very own active volcano.
