Rizes Gastro Taverna

A standout modern-Greek gastro taverna up in Fira, opposite the Metropolitan Cathedral, a short drive from Perissa, that earned a 2026 FNL 'Skinos' distinction, named among ten Greek restaurants in Greece not to miss. Creative takes on Santorinian and Cycladic cooking in a cave-vaulted dining room, for when the meal itself, not the sea view, is the occasion. The kitchen describes its own approach as farm-to-table ingredients handled with modern techniques, and among the dishes it names itself are a beetroot salad, taramas, kalamari, shrimp pasta and chicken cooked with trachanas. Tables are booked online, and parties of more than twelve are asked to contact the restaurant directly.
