Rizes Gastro Taverna

Updated 2026In Fira, opposite the Metropolitan Cathedral, Perissa

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.
