Mykonos & Santorini

Cycladic beauty and sunset dining

Mykonos & Santorini travel destination
Santorini's wine scene connects Assyrtiko and Vinsanto producers with restaurants serving Greek and Mediterranean cooking. Elements Restaurant at Canaves Oia Hotel holds a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence, while tasting menus feature at Lycabettus in Oia and Varoulko Santorini in Imerovigli. Extensive lists accompany both contemporary Greek dining and seafood menus, with sommelier-led service at several restaurants. Across the destination, our guide covers 205 venues, including restaurants, bars, hotels and wineries. Mykonos combines Greek fine dining with beach clubs and international restaurant formats. In Mikonos, BAOS Restaurant serves modern Greek tasting menus, COYA brings Peruvian cooking, and Nōema draws on Cycladic traditions. Pavilion Restaurant in Elia pairs Greek island cooking with an extensive, sommelier-led wine list. Santorini's producer visits offer another perspective on the wines: Estate Argyros in Episkopi Gonia makes Assyrtiko and Vinsanto, while SantoWines (Santorini Coop) in Pyrgos works with basket-trained vines and produces dry whites, Nykteri and Vinsanto.
