Europe Greece Santorini Cafés

Overview

Cafés The guide was updated: 2024-09-11

A laid-back attitude accompanies the whole Greek lifestyle, and it is little wonder that it is emphasised even more in Santorini and the Greek Islands. Coffee breaks are a serious matter and a remarkable part of the day, making "kafeterias" appealing hangouts in suggestive towns.

The most popular version of the traditional coffee is an espresso-like brew that tends to share similarities with Turkish coffee, infused with a sharp flavour, escorting the hearty Greeks throughout the day.

Santorini's scorching sun has led locals and tourists to opt for a more chilled, yet equally efficient option, creating a break ideal for an iced coffee, a frappe, or an ice cream.

Melenio Cafe – Oia

Melenio is among the most-loved and atmospheric cafés within the whole of Santorini. Its increased popularity is due to its exceptional pastries and dessert-making skills, abilities that have transformed the cafeteria into a favoured and upmarket destination among sweet lovers.

An ice cream parlour located just off Oia's main drag, Lolita makes the most-loved Italian gelato from carefully sourced seasonal ingredients.
