KYTHNOS, THE LESSER KNOWN OF THE CYCLADIC ISLANDS, MIGHT BE EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED TO ESCAPE THE CROWDS, AND GET A SERIOUS DOSE OF GREEK AUTHENTICITY -
17 IDEAS FOR PLACES TO SEE AND THINGS TO DO THAT WILL CONVINCE YOU TO VISIT

The island of Kythnos is not very well known to many people, but it might be exactly the place to go to if you’re looking for an island that’s truly authentic, yet not only uncrowded, but literally almost empty. It is popular with Greek families, especially during the month of August, and during weekends in season but, outside of those, it has miraculously managed to escape massive international tourism.

The island, being one of the first ones in the Cycladic chain traveling from the mainland, is a short ferry ride from Athens (1.5 hrs from Lavrio, and 3 hrs from Piraeus ports). It has a tiny population of only 1500-1600 permanent residents.

Kythnos is known for its ceramics and pottery, but it was also a big exporter of barley and semolina and, later on, also iron after the discovery of iron ore.

Named after the son of Apollo, Kythnos, the leader of the Dryopes, an ancient Greek tribe, this long, thin stretch of land with a ridge through its center is divided into valleys spreading to the east and west, with most ending at a beach, of which the island has close to 100, the most in the Cyclades. This makes finding quiet ones not difficult, even when the main spots like Kolona Beach are busier.

The port town of Merichas itself is lovely, but so are the villages of Chora and Dryopida, with their winding, quiet cobblestone streets and lively local tavernas. Another village that might be worth exploring for its thermal springs, is Loutra.

You will definitely need a car on this island, as many places are quite remote, but worth driving through to appreciate how untouched it still remains. We rented a taxi for a few hours to show us around, and it was a perfect way to explore it. The prices are very reasonable, and they’ll wait for you if you need time to visit certain areas or have a meal.

HOW TO SPEND 2 DAYS ON THE BEAUTIFUL ISLAND OF HYDRA - 15 THINGS TO SEE AND DO THAT WILL MAKE YOU LOVE IT

Following on my previous reel, and all the reasons to visit Hydra (pronounced HEE-dra, as someone “lovingly” pointed out), I wanted to give you some ideas of things to do there that you might enjoy.

Hydra has enough to do for 2-3 days, if you don’t want to rush, but if you only have time for a day trip, you can still make it very enjoyable. It’s definitely doable, as long as you arrive by ferry early in the morning, and take one of the last ferries back.

‼️NOTE: For those arriving by private boat or yacht as I did: the port is extremely small, and you can’t reserve a spot like on some other islands, so arriving early is paramount. We arrived at 9.20am, and didn’t get a spot to park for almost 2 hours, having to wait for someone else to leave. It can be very tricky.

Before I move on to all the wonderful things to do on the island, I’d like to quickly tell you a little bit about why the island became car-free.

The history of this decision goes back to the 1950s when all wheeled & motorized vehicles were legally banned by a presidential decree.
1️⃣ The primary reason was the preservation of local heritage, including the unique 18th and 19th century architecture, including its many stone mansions, as well as maintaining traditional character.
2️⃣ The steep terrain was another good reason since the island is built a bit like an amphitheater around the crescent-shaped harbor. With its rocky cliffs, and many winding, cobblestone steps and very narrow alleys, motorized transportation was just not that practical.
3️⃣ Maintaining tranquility was also important, providing quiet, unhurried ecosystem free of traffic noise and exhaust.

Currently, all the local transportation is handled by mules, donkeys, and horses, from carrying luggage, groceries, and construction materials. Water taxis and boats provide connectivity between coastal villages, isolated beaches and the main port. The only exceptions are municipal vehicles like utility trucks for trash removal, ambulances, and fire engines.

Please, look at all the ideas for things to do in the photos.

But maybe not so much actually considering that many other islands like Santorini, Mykonos, Miltos, Corfu, etc., have gotten a lot more marketing, and resultant fame, than this beautiful little one.

🫏 CAR-FREE ENVIRONMENT:
No cars or anything motorized
Equine transport by donkeys and mules only

🏛️ RICH HISTORY AND ARCHITECTURE:
18th-century stone mansions
Naval heritage
Lots of little churches and monasteries

SO…IS SANTORINI REALLY WORTH VISITING, OR IS IT JUST ANOTHER HYPED UP ISLAND?
REFLECTIONS ON MY STAY, AND 11 WAYS TO MAKE YOURS A MEMORABLE ONE.

Well, I’m not going to keep you in suspense and, right off the bat, I’m going to admit to my passionate love affair with Santorini, red flags or not. To the island haters, sorry to disappoint you. 🤷‍♀️😂

But, as always, I wanted to give you an honest review because, as much as I adore it, there are certain things you really DO NEED to consider before traveling there to make your trip successful and enjoyable instead of miserable.

For full transparency, I was on Santorini for 8 nights in the 3rd week of May.

Please, find all my suggestions in the photos…and I hope you have a great trip. Also, if you’ve already been on the island and there’s anything you’d like to add, please share it in the comments. 🙏

ANDRONIS LUXURY SUITES - A STUNNING HOTEL THAT STANDS OUT AMONG OTHER SANTORINI PROPERTIES WITH ITS STRIKING MODERN DECOR

Andronis Luxury Suites, conveniently located almost in the very center of Oia just off the main pedestrian walkway, is a gorgeous cliffside hotel featuring 39 traditional cave-style suites and villas, all with private infinity pools or hot tubs. Part of the Andronis group, which owns 5 properties on the islands of Santorini and Paros, it is a beautifully appointed hotel I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Although I didn’t actually stay there, I did have a reservation, but chose to remain at Katikies Pelagos House simply because 2 extra nights became available, and it was just easier not to have to move. However, after doing much research on Oia properties, and had the circumstances been different, I would have definitely loved the experience. I did stop by to check it out though, and the lovely staff was kind enough to show me around. What you see here is a stunning 60 sq m Sunset Villa Socrates with infinity pool, boasting unobstructed volcano, caldera, and village views, although all rooms enjoy the same stunning ones. (The smallest suite is about 30 sq m and has an outdoor hot tub.)

Somewhat inconspicuous, with no big signs on the front to attract passersby, it is widely considered one of the top properties in Oia. The hotel feels incredibly intimate but, by comparison to Katikies, has a different color scheme, with very modern, clean lines in its decor. Natural wood furniture, cream upholstery, and taupe stone, as well as rust-colored terrace awnings, are somewhat of a departure from the white/blue interiors typical of the island, but work beautifully nonetheless, creating a peaceful and comfortable environment.

The hotel has a small Mare Sanus Spa where you can relax with a massage, or many specialized treatments created with local ingredients.

THE PICTURE-PERFECT KATIKIES HOTEL SANTORINI IS AS DREAMY AS THEY COME, WITH SERVICE AND INCREDIBLE HOSPITALITY TO MATCH 🤍

Those of you who have been following me for a while know that I don’t shy away from negative reviews when necessary, and neither do I praise every luxury hotel I stay at. And, what it also means is that when I actually do, a hotel not only wholeheartedly deserves it, but has gone out of its way to create an unforgettable experience on the highest level. And so was the case with Katikies Santorini.

As a matter of clarification, I stayed at Katikies Pelagos House, which is separate from the one down the road called Gea House, although they are both very similar and part of the same hotel group. Pelagos House sits at the entrance to the village of Oia, while Gea is slightly outside of it, but within a few-minutes walk from the other. (The hotel also has properties in Imerovigli and Fira.)

From the start of the booking process when I was contacted by a representative of the hotel offering to help with any kind of arrangements, be it airport pickups, tours and restaurant reservations, spa appointments, or coordination of room changes to make things smooth, they were extremely professional, efficient, and accommodating. (I had 2 separate reservations in different rooms and categories since the hotel was sold out on our last 2 nights, and a room didn’t become available until later). The same was the case with the hotel’s concierge team, as well as the restaurant staff, who went out of their way to cater to our every need, adjusting reservations if necessary, and fulfilling my requests (a few 😉) with aplomb.

But let’s get to the overall look of the hotel because it is beyond incredible…

WITH 17 ACTIVE WINERIES ON SANTORINI, WHICH ONES SHOULD YOU VISIT? - THE RUNDOWN 🍇🍷
10 BEST WINERIES WORTH VISITING

Following on my previous post/reel about my w**e tour on Santorini, I wanted to give you an easily savable list of the w**eries I visited, as well as tell you a little bit more about each one, and add a few others which are also well very known, so you have lots of places to choose from. Each one is unique in its own way, whether because of the setting, the history, the w**e making techniques, or the aging methods. If you have time, I would probably recommend visiting 3-4. This way you won’t get overwhelmed, while at the same time you’ll be able to appreciate the differences between them and learn something new.

The first 4 w**eries on the list are the ones I toured myself, while the rest are other famous ones which have a good reputation, and have been known for their particular style of w**e, or some other interesting reason. My lovely guide/sommelier Yiannis from W**eland Tours has been very kind to make sure that all the information is correct, and Maria from Maria | Live Santorini in Full Color was instrumental in putting my tour together, both of whom I owe my sincerest thanks.

If you love w**e and are interested in what the beautiful island of Santorini produces, I hope this will give you a nice “map” of sorts to follow. And, if you end up going to any of these, or have already been to some, I’d love to know what you thought of both the w**es and the tasting experience itself.

Cheers! 🍇🍷

THE FASCINATING WORLD OF SANTORINI WINES, AND WHY VISITING LOCAL WINERIES IS ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO UNDERSTAND THE ISLAND 🍷

Did you know that w**e has been grown on Santorini for over 3500 years?! Some roots even date back to the Bronze Age and the Minoan civilization.

The island is so much more than just cliffside villages, whitewashed houses, and sunsets. A part of its long history and tradition, as well as very unique character, is also w**e. And, as someone who has always had special interest in w**e and everything related to it, I was absolutely fascinated by the island’s growing traditions. They are probably the most unique I have seen so far, at least when it comes to growing the actual grapes. So, to better understand the process, and to learn as much about it as I could, I embarked on a very comprehensive guided tour with Maria from , and Yiannis, a certified w**e sommelier from **eland.tours, both of whom I can wholeheartedly recommend.

We picked 4 very interesting w**eries that couldn’t be more different from each other, although the w**es they produce center mostly around the same grape varietals, with Assyrtiko being the predominant grape. And, of course, between the w**e tastings, the food sampling, a gourmet lunch in the vineyard, and many fascinating conversations, the tour lasted way longer than originally planned, and I didn’t mind that one bit.

Apart from a few facts I mentioned in the video, another unique aspect of Santorinian vines is that phylloxera parasite, so prevalent in other places around the world, is not able to affect them since it cannot survive in local soil composed purely of volcanic ash, pumice, and lava.

Another interesting fact is the extreme mineral profile, with severe volcanic stress forcing the roots to reach exceptionally deep and, in turn, imparting a very distinctive, smoky and saline minerality to the w**es.

Here’s a quick list of the w**eries I visited on my tour, although I will talk about each one, and a few other ones, in more detail in my next post, so you have some options for visiting while you’re on the island.

6 MORE RESTAURANTS ON SANTORINI FROM MY HOT LIST OF 13 PLACES WORTH EATING AT NOW - WHERE TO GO AND WHAT TO EAT WITH WOW VIEWS
PART 2 of 2

Following up on my previous post, here are a few more restaurants to complete your list. 4 are in Oia, 1 in Fira, and 1 in Megalochori. Although I have eaten in most restaurants on the list of 13 I have put together for you, this list contains 3 I haven’t personally tried, but all have great reputation, reviews, and have been in business for many years.

Some of these restaurants are more casual, others like Selene a more fine dining option, but all serve fabulous food, and it simply depends what you’re in the mood for, what kind of diner you are, and what your budget is.

As in the previous post, due to limited space, each restaurant has its own separate caption under the first corresponding photo, so you’ll see 7 separate captions as you slide through the carousel, including this one.

Enjoy, and I hope these 2 posts give you some nice ideas for different meals on the island. If you do end up going to any of those, let me know what you thought. And if you’ve already been, I’d love to hear your opinion. 😊

For the rest of the list, please see the previous post.

Roka ROKA OIA - the cutest little place that doesn’t have a view,as it sits on the other side of Oia on a side street, but makes up for it by its charming courtyards with very Greek atmosphere. The food is lovely, authentic and very interesting. The service is fun and engaging, with a great sense of humor. Gruyère cheese from Naxos in crispy nut crust with peach gel, slow-roasted Florina pepper with feta cheese mousse, homemade pepper jam, and pistachios, Kerkini buffalo soutzoukakia (spiced meatballs with fresh tomato sauce and potato foam. (Not to be mistaken for Roka in Imerovigli!)

ROKA

Oia Gefsis Oia Gefsis - an award-winning restaurant with panoramic sunset views from its west-facing terrace, although located on the other side of the village, so no caldera views per se (prime sunset spots require advanced booking). Housed in a restored 19th-century captain’s house, it offers a very creative take on Greek and Mediterranean cuisine. Huge menu and interesting drinks like Volcanic Spiced Margarita with caper, balsamic fig and Santorinian chili, or Blue Dome with ouzo, sun-dried curaçao, thyme, rosemary, lime and citrus powder. Appetizers include oysters marinated in Greek salad broth with cucumber/tomato tartare and pickled onion, wood-fired beets & beet greens with Souroto cheese from Paros, smoked eel, orange, and beet vinegar. Main courses are no less creative with dishes like traditional meat pie of Naxos milk-fed lamb and goat, beef, hand-rolled rustic phyllo, cream of Naxos graviera and fresh truffle. Desserts don’t stay far behind in creativity in creations like beetroot, chocolate and yogurt with osmosed wild cherries, milk chocolate ganache, chocolate soil cubes, beetroot caramel, and sheep yogurt ice cream.

Alisachni - this somewhat whimsical gallery/restaurant/bar lounge in Megalochori serves absolutely delicious Greek and Mediterranean food, and is a perfect place for lunch if you’re touring the village. From artistic cocktails and extensive w**e cellar of 500 local labels, and modern Greek dishes served in an art gallery setting spread over many courtyards and levels including a lovely rooftop, the place is a real gem to dine in. Intimate, peaceful, and away from it all. Try dishes like Santorinian bostani salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, local capers, feta, and dakos, or lamb “kleftiko” with local pasta, vegetables and skotiri cheese (superb!).

Eos - this intimate fine dining restaurant at the Aspaki Exclusive Hotel by is located near the castle and away from the crowds, and offers 360-degree panoramic caldera, village, and sunsets views. Mediterranean-Greek cuisine with a creative contemporary twist shines in dishes like Greek red prawns with strawberries in different textures, red rose, fresh cheese, and crispy sando, or “mousaka” beef tartare with crunchy confit potatoes, crispy eggplant, egg yolk, and foamy bechamel. Main courses are no less creative. Sea bass with leek purée, baked celery and caviar sauce, or cod “fasolada” with traditional bean sauce, bottarga, mussels, smoked trout, red pepper purée, fresh pickles, and celery oil will bring another dimension to your meal. I haven’t eaten there, but the restaurant has a great reputation and reviews. And did I mention the views?! 😮💙

Ammoudi Fish Tavern - this iconic place on the beach, at the bottom of the rocky cliffs about 300 steps from Oia (below the castle), is a must if you love seafood. The multi-level building sits in a picturesque little bay, built right into the red volcanic rock. Dozens of seafood options of all kinds, including seafood moussaka, as well as just straightforward fresh catch served 7 different ways. Unfortunately, I never made it there due to lack of time, but the restaurant has been operating since the early 80s and has a great reputation, although can sometimes feel touristy due to its popularity.

Selene at - escape to Fira to this unique cultural landmark inside a restored 18th-century monastery (now Katikies Garden Hotel) to dine on chef Ettore Botrini’s Michelin-level creations where modern culinary techniques blend with island flavors and traditions. Known for its w**e cellar, with a w**e list curated by Master of W**e Yiannis Karakasis, it is definitely a place for foodies who appreciate exceptional w**es from its famous Antique Caves, exporting w**es even to the Vatican. High-end fine dining with multi-course tasting menus of extraordinarily creative dishes playing off traditional local ingredients, with prices to match. Romantic courtyard setting by the fountain. I didn’t have a chance to eat there, but having tried the chef’s other restaurant at my hotel in Oia, I’m sure it’s outstanding and worth a trip.

SANTORINI’S RESTAURANT SCENE IS HOT, BEAUTIFUL, AND OH SOOOO GOOD! -
13 RESTAURANTS YOU SHOULD BE EATING AT RIGHT NOW FOR THE FOOD, THE ATMOSPHERE, AND THOSE INCREDIBLE VIEWS
PART 1 of 2

Santorini doesn’t have a shortage of restaurants. In fact, there are so many that choosing one can be daunting. Here’s a nice selection of different options, from high-end Michelin-quality tasting menus, to upscale that won’t empty your bank account, and the most casual, simple ones with fabulous local food. Since I stayed in Oia the entire time, most of my dinners were there, but I have listed a few others on the island which I either had lunch at, or those that I haven’t been to, but which have great reputation, in case you need more choices. However, I will always mention that I haven’t eaten there (4 places).

And if you’ve been on the island and have your own favorites, please add them to the list in the comments so we can all benefit and have something to look forward to. 🙏

Due to lack of space, both here and in the photos themselves, please find a separate description of each restaurant BELOW the photos relating to them. It’s a new feature on Instagram, which I hope won’t be too confusing. Each restaurant has its own separate caption.

PART 2 coming shortly…

Miltos Greek Table miltos_ santorini - one of my favorites by Andronis Luxury Suites. So much so, in fact, that we went twice. Gorgeous location and unbeatable views, big and varied menu, phenomenal and very creative food, but still with authentic local flavors. Go for lunch not to miss the caldera in the sun. It’s spectacular. Professional and friendly service too. Red prawns with green tomato broth, mint, cucumber and jalapeño are outstanding, and Santorinian tomato fritters are a must.

Botrini’s at Katikies Santorini - this fine dining restaurant at the hotel where I stayed has only tasting 3 menus, with an option for very interesting w**e pairing. The food is gorgeous, the flavors exquisite, and the service extremely professional without being pompous (a huge plus for me, and not always easy to achieve). It also serves one of the prettiest vegetable dishes I have ever seen (vegetable tian in the photo). The setting on their cliffside terrace couldn’t be more romantic, but do reserve early because the restaurant has very small capacity (I booked 2 months in advance and barely made it). Perfect for a special, intimate occasion.

MIA’s .santorini - great restaurant in a beautiful setting located on a quieter side of Oia. You still get the stunning cliffside views, but part of the village is also gloriously lit at night right in front of you. Lots of local dishes with a twist, like Santorinian white eggplant tart with cherry tomatoes, parsley oil, rosemary, oxtail pastitsio with homemade agnolotti and Naxian Gruyère cheese, as well as fantastic slow-cooked goat from Anafi. Although some dishes can be on the heavy side.

Karma - this straight-out-a-picture beautiful, colorful restaurant can be considered a real hidden gem due to its location in the back alleys of Oia. A flower garden bursting with bougainvillea, and a courtyard with a trickling fountain welcome you upon arrival, creating a cozy atmosphere. Traditional Greek dishes are well executed and delicious, and the farm-to-table breakfast menu is creative and extensive.

Ambrosia - another restaurant with a beautiful romantic, candlelit outdoor terrace and small indoor space filled with antiques, located right in the village center. Greek and Mediterranean food, but a little straightforward and unimaginative for me. (Might be difficult on a very windy evening as they only have a few tables inside and it’s pretty tight.)

Lycabettus santorini - I haven’t eaten there, but it is a restaurant by the beautiful (where I also had a reservation, although will have to give them a try another time) with probably the most dramatic setting on the island. Featured on the cover of National Geographic, it has been called the most beautiful balcony in Oia. Stunning presentation of dishes in a tasting-menu or 3-course prix-fix flexible format, with special sommelier w**e pairing available. Due to popularity, reservations are required months in advance. If you’re celebrating a special occasion, or just want a very romantic, straight out of a fairytale evening, it is definitely a place to consider.

Volkan on the rocks - located in Firostefani along the coastal path between the 3 villages, his drop-dead views restaurant is great for lunch or a drink at either the café & restaurant or the Garden Cocktail Bar. The dramatic setting overlooking the coast with the caldera is spectacular, and made even more unique by the outdoor evening screenings of Mamma Mia in its open-air cinema combined with dinner. They also have their own brewery if you’re into b**r. The food is casual and spread between the restaurant serving Greek food, and the Italian trattoria with pizzas, pastas, etc.
