I recently went to Santorini. I ate at places in Oia and Fira. I preferred Fira for it's laid back, friendly environment. One of the key takeaways for me in regards to dining is there aren't many options for what we in America would call a 'doggy bag". I'm not a big eater and usually cannot finish a meal. Leaving about a third of my meal on the plate because I couldn't package it was a little disheartening.
Thanks alot bro, your videos about greece helps out very much for outsiders wanting to visit greece. As a dutch person, greece looks like a very relax and fun place to be. Cheap great food, wonderful people, alot of nature and amazing sunsets.
We went to Karma for lunch on your recommendation and it was...Amazing! And it was a short walk away from the crowds which was so nice to move freely. Thanks for this and all your videos. So informative and really helped us plan an extraordinary week in Greece. Σε ευχαριστώ!
I went to “Melitini” today thanks to your recommendation😄 and it was so nice and tasty and the opposite of the tourists trap. So thank you so much for the video and I also recommend going there!
Thanks for your videos lots of very useful info! We are staying in Finikia in 2 weeks for 7 nights, looking forward to trying out some of your reccomendations! Especially Lefkes 😊
For oia I have been going to the same spot I found in 2008. It was such a nice experience I didn't care to look. I almost always try different places and should try the others on this list. But I have been 4 times to Strogyli.
I've just come back from greece , we went to melitini and it was AMAZING . the food is so good , the atmosphere was amazing and relaxed. a lot of couples come here on dates though , so don't bring young kids.
All of the food was good , especially the papoutsakia and the beef with onions (i can't remember what it's called) , but you should 100% try the orange pie , its the best in greece in my opinion (although it's the desert of the day , so they might not have it)
Hey Sebastian, great information as always, keep up the good work!👍I have question - I have thought about proposing to my girlfriend in Santorini, any suggestions for nice and memorable spots to do so without many people around? Thanks😊
Hey ! Congrats on the big step !! Any spot of my "secret sunset spots" would do the trick, at any point of the day. Otherwise you could do it at SUNRISE from Oia Castle, or from the beaches of Kamari or Perissa.
These all look so good! Sorry for all the questions, but which between Meltini Fino, or Lefkes would you say is your favorite/ or recommend most? We only have 2 nights in Oia book until we move to Fira. I made a reservation to Petra as you recommend that in another video and I thought it looked romantic. However I'm having a hard time deciding which restaurant we should visit the second night? Also one of the days we wanted to go swimming in amoudi bay so i thought I'd be nice to go for lunch at Amoudi fish taverna have you been before? Is tge food any good or is it judt touristy?
@@GreeceExplained thank you so much for your recommendations! Lefkes it is! Would you say it's worth going to Petra's or should I cancel and go to one of the other restaurants you mentioned in Oia instead for our first night?
Thank you for the video. I wonder how is the weather would be in mid-late (17th-24th) October? I'm confused to what to wear and pack. Will we be able to swim also? I appreciate any suggestions.
Temperature will be around 20 celsius during the day, 15 in the evening (so you need warm clothes for the night !) October usually has 3-4 rainy days, so if you're unlucky it might hit you during your stay, just keep that in mind.
Hi. Do you know if there are any short tours in athens for a 7 hour airport layover ? We land at 7 am from a flight from mykonos and depart at 1 on a flight to canada. Wondering if we have time to see any sites ?
Hi Sandra. If I were you, I'd take the metro, hop off at Monastiraki, walk to the Acropolis, visit the archeological site of the Acropolis and then take the metro back to the airport.
@@sandraredmond4812 1h to get to the center, 2-3h to walk around the Acropolis & Plaka, 1h to get back to the airport. Dont know a private guide who can help you with that, sorry.

UPDATE : Many restaurants have increased their prices following the 2022 inflation, so expect prices 20-30% higher than what I say in the video :-)

Good video! Good recommendations.. We will be staying in Oia in a few weeks and this helped us a lot!

Please, if you could advise which restaurant is the best to have a birthday party not stay for about 30 people, especially close to the beach.
Every dish seems soooo yummy. Thks for sharing your gems with us :-)

According to my opinion you can eat excellent food at the Terrace of Laokasti Restaurant, Oia.
Karma doesn’t have Kadaifi Shrimps any more. They said that was for last year’s menu. 😢
Damn. Sorry to hear that

There are no budget hotels with view, with swimming pool in Imerovigli. In Akrotiri you will have better prices, but in Imerovigli definitely not ;-)
Binge watching your videos since I am going to Santorini for my honeymoon in 2 weeks 😂
By the way, what's the rule of thumb when tipping at restaurants in Santorini? Much appreciate Seb!
I'd say around 10% !
HI! Thanks for the video. I tried looking to book these restaurants but they are mostly listed as closed. Why and will they will open for booking from April?
Yes they will open throughout the month of April, dont worry ;-)
How in advance do you make reservations? Same day or day before? Months before? 😃
For lunch, can be the day before.
For dinner, 1 to 3 weeks ahead depending which month you're coming.
Funny how you don't mention the other quirks of kandouni ;-)
how far in advanced do you have to make reservations?
In July-August, 2-3 weeks.
At any other time, 1 week.
