Mykonos & Santorini

Mykonos, Greece

Almiriki

On the waterfront at Agios Nikolaos, Almiriki anchors itself to the Greek seafood tradition with a port-to-plate discipline that the island's busier restaurant strips rarely match.

Mykonos, Greece

BAOS Restaurant

BAOS Restaurant sits within the Myconian Korali in Mykonos Town, bringing a creative cooking approach to Greek cuisine under chef Taylor Ponte. Recognised for its inventive handling of Hellenic ingredients and traditions, it holds a 4.. For the Mykonos dining scene, where olive oil and Aegean produce define the kitchen's architecture, BAOS offers a considered alternative to the island's more theatrical seafront tables.

Mykonos, Greece

Beefbar Mykonos

Inside the Bill & Coo Hotel at Agios Ioannis, Beefbar Mykonos brings a globally recognised meat-focused restaurant concept to one of the Aegean's most sought-after addresses. The menu centres on premium cuts sourced from producing regions around the world, set against the sun-bleached calm of Mykonos's southern coastline. It positions itself apart from the island's Greek seafood circuit, offering a different reference point for the high-season dinner.

Mykonos, Greece

COYA

COYA arrived in Mykonos in 2019, transplanting its Peruvian-rooted format from London and Dubai into one of the Aegean's most competitive dining scenes. The setting on Matogianni draws a crowd that comes for the pisco-driven bar program and the ceviche-forward menu as much as for the atmosphere. Reserve well ahead during peak summer weeks.

Mykonos, Greece

Efisia

At Platis Gialos on Mykonos's southern coast, Efisia works within the Cooking Classics tradition under Chef Ilias Maslaris, drawing from the Cycladic pantry rather than chasing the island's more theatrical dining scene.For travellers after grounded Greek cooking in a destination that rarely rewards patience, Efisia earns the detour.

Santorini, Greece

Elements Restaurant at Canaves Oia Hotel

Set within Canaves Oia Luxury Resorts, Elements Restaurant positions itself at the intersection of Aegean produce and international technique under executive chef Tasos Stefatos. The à la carte menu runs alongside additional tasting formats, with caldera views framing nearly every seat. For dining in Oia that moves beyond direct Greek taverna cooking, Elements belongs in the conversation.

Mykonos, Greece

Kalua

At Paraga Beach, Kalua has operated as one of Mykonos's defining waterfront venues since 2001, carrying a brand lineage that stretches back to Kos in 1978. The setting frames a meal around the rhythm of the Aegean rather than the frenzy of the island's busier strips. For beach dining with roots deeper than the typical seasonal operation, it sits in a different tier from the pop-up competition.

Oia, Greece

Lycabettus

Lycabettus in Oia is open for the 2026 season, with the official site and Andronis dining page linking to reservations.

Santorini, Greece

Mia’s Restaurant

Positioned on the northwestern edge of Santorini in the village of Oia, Mia's Restaurant operates within the fine dining tier that defines the island's premium food scene. Executive chef Avgeria Stapaki leads a menu grounded in Greek culinary tradition, with a composition that draws on the Aegean's seasonal produce and the island's distinct volcanic terroir. Oia's concentration of serious dining rooms makes advance planning essential.

Mykonos, Greece

Myconian Korali

Myconian Korali sits within the Relais & Châteaux collection just outside Mykonos Town, combining private beach access, a thalassotherapy centre, and Greek cuisine under Chef Panagiotis Tsoukatos. The property holds a 4., placing it among the island's more considered resort dining options for guests who want proximity to the town without sacrificing calm.

Mykonos, Greece

Myconian Sunrise

Set directly on Agrari Beach with Cycladic whitewashed architecture and sea views from every room, Myconian Sunrise places Greek Mediterranean cooking within one of Mykonos's quieter coastal settings. Chef Peja Krstic leads the kitchen with an approach rooted in open-flame technique and minimal intervention, letting the quality of local ingredients carry the plate. The property holds a 4..

Mykonos, Greece

Nōema

Nōema sits in Mykonos Town and draws its identity from centuries of Cycladic practice, translating that inheritance into a modern Greek format suited to the island's high-season dining scene. The restaurant occupies a position between local tradition and contemporary presentation, making it a reference point for visitors seeking something grounded amid the spectacle of Mykonos dining.

Santorini, Greece

Oia Oenosart

One of Santorini's first dedicated wine bars, Oia Oenosart opened in 2015 with a clear proposition: pair the island's distinctive volcanic-soil wines with local food, served at the pace the wines deserve. Positioned in Oia's Argonauton area, it sits at the intersection of wine education and the unhurried ritual that defines drinking seriously on this island.

Mykonos, Greece

Pavilion Restaurant

At Elia, one of Mykonos's most sheltered beaches, Pavilion Restaurant brings a creative approach to Greek island cooking under chef Courtney Van Dyke. The kitchen has earned recognition for creative cooking, placing it in a tier of Mykonos dining that goes beyond grilled fish and tourist-facing mezedes.

Santorini, Greece

Adami Restaurant

Adami Restaurant fits Oía’s dining rhythm: a caldera village where meals are shaped as much by light, wind and island produce as by formal culinary labels. The appeal is less about trophy signals than setting, timing and the Santorini habit of letting tomatoes, capers, fava, seafood and volcanic-grown wines carry the table.

Mykonos, Greece

Aegean Poets Restaurant

Aegean Poets Restaurant sits in Psarrou, one floor below the lobby, placing it in the Mykonos dining circuit where hotel restaurants, beach-club tables, and Greek seafood rooms compete for the same evening crowd. Treat it as part of the island’s broader Aegean conversation: produce, sea, terrace culture, and the measured pace of resort dining.

Santorini, Greece

Alati Restaurant

Alati Restaurant belongs to Santorini’s cave-dining tradition rather than its cliff-edge sunset circuit. Set inside a 400-year-old winery cave in Megalohori, it frames island cooking through volcanic agriculture, wine-cave architecture, and the slower village rhythm that separates the interior from the caldera-facing restaurant strip.

Oia, Greece

Alios Ilios Restaurant & Bar

Alios Ilios Restaurant & Bar belongs to Oia’s caldera-side dining circuit, where Greek island cooking is judged as much by produce discipline as by the view. With no public chef, awards, price, or menu specifics attached, the useful read is contextual: treat it as an Oia restaurant-and-bar stop shaped by Santorini’s seafood, tomatoes, capers, white eggplant, and sunset-hour demand.

Mykonos, Greece

Ambrosia Restaurant & Terrace

Ambrosia Restaurant & Terrace belongs to the quieter Elia Beach side of Mykonos dining, where the terrace setting matters as much as the plate. With no public awards or chef-led tasting format attached, its appeal sits in the island’s ingredient logic: seafood, produce, olive oil, herbs, and a view-led rhythm away from the Chora circuit.

Mykonos, Greece

Apanemi Restaurant

Apanemi Restaurant sits in the Mykonos dining conversation where Cycladic setting and ingredient discipline matter more than spectacle. Its Kato Mili position places it close to the island’s postcard windmill quarter, but the stronger reading is culinary: seafood, vegetables, olive oil, herbs and grilled simplicity remain the grammar of a serious Mykonos dinner.

Santorini, Greece

Aurum Restaurant

Aurum Restaurant sits poolside in Imerovigli, where Santorini dining is shaped as much by timing and terrace ritual as by the plate. The appeal is less about spectacle than the island’s slower evening cadence: caldera light, hotel-side service, and a meal that fits the quieter end of Santorini’s restaurant circuit.

Mykonos, Greece

Avlí Restaurant

Avlí Restaurant belongs to the quieter Kalafati side of Mykonos, where pool-and-beach dining reads differently from the island’s louder sunset circuits. Its appeal sits in the setting and in the broader Cycladic habit of letting seafood, vegetables, olive oil, herbs, and grill work carry the meal rather than overbuilding the plate.

Mykonos, Greece

Beefbar

Beefbar places the international steakhouse vocabulary inside Mykonos’s beach-hotel dining circuit, where premium sourcing, sea-facing rooms, and late-evening energy often matter as much as formal technique. The useful question is not whether the island needs another polished dinner address, but whether a meat-led format gives visitors a counterpoint to the Cycladic seafood template.

Mykonos, Greece

Myconian Villa Collection

Positioned directly above Elia Beach on Mykonos's southeastern coast, Myconian Villa Collection offers 96 rooms and 18 villa units with private infinity pools and direct beach access. The property operates a thalassotherapy spa, an Artion Gallery outpost, and a fine-dining venue where Executive Chef Philippos Stampoulis builds a seasonally rotating Mediterranean menu from local Cycladic producers.

Santorini, Greece

Canaves Ena

Carved into Oia's volcanic cliffside, Canaves Ena offers 18 suites renovated in 2024 around a Cycladic minimalism that prioritises caldera views and retreat-style quiet. Awarded 95.5 points by La Liste Top Hotels 2026, it sits within the Canaves Oia Hotels group alongside sister property Canaves Oia Suites. The all-day pool restaurant, infinity swim bar, and private motor yacht define its proposition for guests seeking stillness with access.

Santorini, Greece

Canaves Epitome

Positioned above Ammoudi Bay on Oia's northern edge, Canaves Epitome operates as an all-villa resort where privacy and caldera views take precedence over scale. Recognised by La Liste's Top Hotels ranking with 91.5 points in 2026, the property sits at a quieter remove from Oia's main thoroughfare, offering a counterpoint to the island's more trafficked luxury addresses.

Santorini, Greece

Canaves Oia Suites

On the caldera rim in Oia, Canaves Oia Suites occupies among the more photographed positions in the Aegean, translating that geography into a suite-only property with Cycladic architecture, two pools, and the Petra restaurant's six-course degustation menu. A La Liste Top Hotels 2026 rating of 90 points and Small Luxury Hotels of the World membership place it firmly in the upper tier of Santorini's cliff-side accommodation.

Paros, Greece

Summer Senses Luxury Resort

On a hilltop above Punda Beach in Paros, Summer Senses Luxury Resort spreads across 30 acres of Cycladic terrain with 100 rooms and suites, three pools, and a fine dining restaurant connected to Athens' respected Hytra group. The spa draws on local herbs and Hippocratic wellness traditions, while private pool suites and Parian marble bathrooms place the property in the upper tier of island accommodation.

Mykonos, Greece

Katikies Mykonos

Perched above Agios Ioannis bay on Mykonos's quieter southern shore, Katikies Mykonos is a Leading Hotels of the World member that earned 94 points on La Liste's 2026 Top Hotels ranking. The property opened in 2018 and pairs Cycladic whitewash architecture with multiple dining formats, a champagne bar, and a hillside spa — all oriented toward the Aegean horizon.

Mykonos, Greece

Kalesma Mykonos

On Mykonos's quieter southwestern edge, Kalesma occupies a bougainvillea-draped hillside above Ornos Bay, offering a counterpoint to the island's party-circuit identity. Its 25 suites and villas each carry private plunge pools with both sunrise and sunset exposure. Recognised as Greece's Leading Luxury Boutique Hotel at the 2025 World Travel Awards and scoring 94.5 points on La Liste's Top Hotels 2026, it draws guests who want the island without the volume.

Imerovigli, Greece

Grace Hotel, Auberge Resorts Collection

Perched on the caldera rim in Imerovigli, Grace Hotel, Auberge Resorts Collection occupies a 23-room clifftop retreat with Santorini's largest heated infinity pool at 22 metres.

Mykonos, Greece

Amazon Suites Mykonos

Amazon Suites Mykonos holds a Michelin One Key distinction for 2025, placing it among a select tier of Aegean properties where the guest experience is the primary design brief. Set in Agios Ioannis on Mykonos's quieter southern coast, the suites-only format signals a deliberate orientation toward intimacy over scale — a positioning that separates it from the island's larger resort circuit.

Mykonos, Greece

Amyth of Mykonos Agios Stefanos

Amyth of Mykonos Agios Stefanos holds a 2025 Michelin Key, placing it among a small cohort of Mykonos properties recognised for hospitality quality at a meaningful level.

A considered choice for those prioritising calm over spectacle.

Paros, Greece

Andronis Minois

On Parasporos beach, Andronis Minois translates the angular grammar of Cycladic architecture into 44 suites that sit directly above the Aegean. A member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, the property pairs that structural rigour with Aura Spa and the sea-view dining of Olvo Restaurant, placing it in the smaller, design-led tier of Paros accommodation.

Santorini, Greece

Bellonias Villas

Bellonias Villas holds a Michelin Key distinction in the 2025 guide, placing it among a small cohort of Santorini properties recognised for consistent hospitality quality at Kamari Beach. The villa format suits travellers who want structured privacy away from the caldera-facing cliff hotels that dominate the island's premium tier.

Mykonos, Greece

Boheme Mykonos Town

Boheme Mykonos Town holds a Michelin Key distinction for 2025, placing it among a select tier of design-conscious properties in the heart of Mykonos Town. Positioned within walking distance of the Kastro quarter and Little Venice, the hotel suits guests who want proximity to the island's most characterful streets without the scale of a resort. Greece's Michelin hotel program remains selective, and Boheme's inclusion signals a specific level of assessed quality.

Santorini, Greece

Canaves Sunday

Canaves Sunday holds a Michelin Key distinction for 2025, placing it among a select tier of recognised properties in Oia. Positioned on Santorini's caldera rim, the hotel draws guests who come for considered service and the particular quality of light that falls across the volcanic landscape at dusk. It reads as a counterpoint to the island's larger resort operations.

Paros, Greece

Cove Paros

Cove Paros holds a One MICHELIN Key designation in the 2025 Michelin hotel guide, placing it in a small assessed peer group of Greek island properties. Positioned directly on Agioi Anargyroi Beach, it operates in the Cyclades' smaller, design-conscious hotel tier, where location specificity and a considered food and drink programme carry more weight than resort scale.

Mykonos, Greece

Ethereum Mykonos

There’s no need to choose between polished ocean views and easy beach access at Ethereum Mykonos. Set in the hills above the Aegean, this luxury boutique hotel offers sweeping vistas of the curving shoreline, but the beautiful Psarou beach, and one of the island’s most exclusive beach clubs, is just a short walk away. Suites are sophisticated and serene with exposed stone walls, floor-to-ceiling windows, modern decor in earth tones, and private terraces with plunge pools and sunbeds, with the stronger rooms dramatically positioned over the seascape below. Guests are welcome to use the stylish spa, fitness center, bars, and restaurants at the affiliated Palladium Hotel Mykonos across the street.

Santorini, Greece

Grace Hotel, Auberge Collection

Positioned on the caldera ridge in Imerovigli, Grace Hotel, Auberge Collection holds a Michelin Key for 2025, placing it among a select tier of Santorini properties recognised for hospitality quality rather than scale alone. The hotel operates within Auberge Resorts Collection's portfolio of design-led, low-key-count properties, and draws serious comparison with the island's most architecturally considered addresses.

Santorini, Greece

Istoria

Istoria occupies a 12-suite position on Perivolos Beach, where black volcanic sand meets the Aegean. Unlike the caldera-facing properties that define Santorini's dominant luxury tier, this is a beach-side social property that trades sunset-view prestige for direct access to the island's southern shore and a format built around gathering rather than seclusion.

Santorini, Greece

Katikies Garden Santorini

Set within a former Catholic monastery compound in Fira, Katikies Garden Santorini holds a 2025 Michelin Key, placing it among a small tier of Santorini properties formally recognised for accommodation quality. The setting trades the caldera-edge drama of Oia's cliff hotels for a more interior, garden-oriented calm, making it a considered choice for occasions that call for something quieter than the island's most photographed addresses.

Santorini, Greece

Katikies Kirini Suites & Spa

Perched on the caldera edge in Oia, Katikies Kirini Suites & Spa holds a Michelin Key recognition for 2025, placing it among a small cohort of Greek island properties where accommodation quality is assessed by the same standards applied to fine dining. The spa and suite format positions it firmly in the retreat tier of Santorini's crowded luxury market.

Santorini, Greece

Kivotos Santorini

Perched above the caldera at Imerovigli, Kivotos Santorini is a boutique property of ten rooms where the vertical drama of the island's cliff edge is the primary amenity.

Santorini, Greece

Limestone Santorini

Limestone Santorini holds a 2025 Michelin Key, placing it among a small tier of Aegean properties where the physical fabric of the building — volcanic stone, caldera position, and Cycladic restraint — does the work that amenities alone cannot. Located on Agiou Mina, it draws repeat visitors who value a quieter register than the island's more prominent cliff-edge resorts.

Mykonos, Greece

Alemagou Beach Bar & Restaurant

At Ftelia on Mykonos's north shore, Alemagou operates where the Aegean wind and wave-washed shoreline set the terms of the experience. The menu follows an Aegean-fusion approach grounded in freshness and simplicity, while the bar programme draws from the same coastal logic. For drinks at the northern edge of the island, this is the address that holds the comparison.

Mykonos, Greece

Scorpios

Scorpios sits on Paraga beach on Mykonos's south coast, roughly 6 km from Mykonos Town, and occupies a different tier from the island's purely seasonal beach clubs.

Oia, Greece

Akratos Poolside Bar

Mykonos, Greece

Aloni Sunset Lounge

Imerovigli, Greece

Aperitivo Bar

Mykonos, Greece

Belvedere Bar

Poolside in the School of Fine Arts District, Belvedere Bar belongs to the hotel-bar side of Mykonos nightlife rather than the island’s beach-club circuit. With no published awards, chef, price range, or booking details in the available record, its editorial value lies in context: a central Mykonos bar format where spirits curation, poolside pacing, and town access matter more than spectacle.

Mykonos, Greece

Belvedere Pool Club

Belvedere Pool Club sits in Mykonos Town’s School of Fine Arts district, a poolside counterpoint to the island’s beach-club circuit. Its appeal is less about public spectacle than controlled resort atmosphere: drinks by the water, town access close at hand, and a calmer reading of Mykonos nightlife than the large-format coastal venues.

Santorini, Greece

Estate Argyros

Among Santorini's organic producers, Estate Argyros earns its place at the summit of the conversation through vines that in some cases predate the modern Greek state.

Santorini, Greece

Artemis Karamolegos Winery

The winery draws from the island's ancient Assyrtiko vines and volcanic soils to produce wines that reflect the particular character of this terrain rather than international stylistic templates.

Santorini, Greece

Venetsanos Winery

Venetsanos Winery occupies a dramatic caldera-facing position on the Megalochori road, placing it among Santorini's most scenically positioned wine estates.. Visitors come for the combination of volcanic-terroir Assyrtiko and a setting that makes the geology of the wine legible from the terrace.

Santorini, Greece

Boutari Winery (Santorini)

Boutari Winery Santorini’s Megalochori visitor profile is permanently closed; legacy travel listings should not be treated as current.

Santorini, Greece

Koutsoyannopoulos Winery

Koutsoyannopoulos Winery sits in Vothonas, one of Santorini's quieter inland villages, at a remove from the caldera-facing tourist circuit.. For visitors building a serious itinerary around Santorini's volcanic wine culture, it represents a more grounded point of entry than the cliff-edge cooperatives.

Paros, Greece

Moraitis Winery

Moraitis Winery sits in the Naoussa area of Paros, producing wines from one of the Aegean's most distinctive island terroirs. For visitors exploring Paros beyond its beaches, this is a serious address on the island's wine map.

SantoWines (Santorini Coop)

Operating from volcanic soils planted primarily with Assyrtiko, the cooperative brings together hundreds of grower-members whose basket-trained vines feed a cellar programme spanning dry whites, Nykteri, and Vinsanto.

Santorini, Greece

Vassaltis Vineyards

Vassaltis Vineyards sits along the Vourvoulos-Oia peripheral road in Santorini. Santorini's volcanic terroir and indigenous Assyrtiko grape define the context here, and Vassaltis operates within that tradition at a tier where the credentials do the talking before the wine is even poured.

Oia, Greece

Domaine Sigalas

Domaine Sigalas sits in the village of Baxes near Oia, producing Assyrtiko and other indigenous varieties from vines shaped by Santorini's volcanic soils and relentless Aegean winds.. Visiting here places Santorini's ancient viticulture in sharp focus.

Santorini, Greece

Canava Santorini Distillery

Canava Santorini Distillery reframes the island’s wine country through spirits: ouzo, tsikoudia, aged tsikoudia and liqueurs drawn from Santorini grapes, herbs and domestic craft memory. In Mesaria, the experience reads less like a tasting room and more like a compact folklore museum where distillation, village architecture and grape culture share the same frame.
