  • 1. Red Bicycle

    $$$

    At the tip of Ia in a 19th-century mansion is one of Santorini's most storied eateries. A traditional white exterior and glossy painted door lead to a chic interior with Maria Callas photographs and a stupendous terrace with caldera views on all sides. People call to not only make reservations but to request specific tables. The food is a match for the surroundings; assured and confident, it is an elevated take on the traditional island cuisine with a very seductive wine list to complement it.

  • 2. Roka

    $$

    A pastel-yellow courtyard hidden among the sea captains' mansions is where those in the know come to eat in Ia. Elegant and delicious, these modern Greek updates on classic cooking are rays of sunshine among the more tourist-oriented fare elsewhere. Rooted in island ingredients, this is food to make you smile. Friendly, and down-to-earth staff help to make the experience memorable and the all Greek wine list is particularly strong on the local Santorini offerings.

    $$$$ | Greek

    Growing some of the best Greek grape varieties—since ancient times—has something to do with the land, and the enologists and sommeliers at Domaine Sigalas are ready to divulge every fascinating detail and present the Greek plates that perfectly accompany their best labels. Domaine Sigalas, a local, family-run winery, is a respected name in Greek wines and has opened up its lush island winery outside Ia for tastings and food pairing sessions. Get to know everything about the whites, reds and sweet wines that have made Santorini a wine connoisseur’s destination.

    22860-71644

    Known For

    • Excellent wine tasting and food pairings
    • Best wines from Santorini
  • 4. Sunset Taverna

    $$

    The first of the Ammoudi fish houses that opened in the 1980s is still a standout among the several excellent tavernas that line the quay in this tiny fishing port just below Ia—you can walk down and take a cab back to town. Lapping waves, bobbing fishing boats, and tables so close to the water's edge that a clumsy move might add a swim to the evening's entertainment, testify to the freshness of the fish, which is simply grilled. Most diners arrive in time to witness the sunset, but the meal often steals the show.

  • 5. Candouni

    $$

    A jasmine-shaded front garden, candle-lit at night, and an antique-filled salon are the charming settings in a centuries-old sea captain's house for this traditional family taverna. All the classics are there but perhaps the best approach is to order from the sizeable meze selection, wash it down with the very palatable house white, and soak in the cozy atmosphere.

  • 6. Skiza

    $

    The balcony overlooking the caldera on top of this café-cum-bakery is a prime spot for lazing over breakfast, a coffee, or a home-baked pastry. Open all year, too, for soothing summer ice-cream or warming winter treats.

    Ia, Santorini, 84702, Greece
    22860-71569

    Known For

    • Perfect pizza
    • Awesome Greek sweets
    • Big blue view
  • 7. Sphinx Wine Bar and Restaurant

    $$$

    A lovingly decorated mansion is home to the best cellar on the island with a deep and extensive international list. The food is no afterthought though; eclectic and creative magic goes on in the kitchen as a mainly Mediterranean menu is put through its paces. The rooftop terrace is a favorite for sunset views, but the vaulted-ceilinged dining room can be a wiser option on blustery summer evenings—either way, it is a wonderful place to spend an evening.
