Everything about Food and Wine
Greece 2026 - Day 5, Santorini
1 May 2026
Santorini, Greece
Weather: Strong winds, partially cloudy and gloomy skies. Sunny at times. Passing shower in the evening.
The day started the way most good days do, with coffee and pies at our favourite Picolo before setting off on what was supposedly a three hour hike from Fira to Oia. Like many things in life, the estimate proved wildly optimistic.
Our first major stop was Skaros Rock. What looked like a quick detour turned into a two hour adventure. The dramatic cliffs, endless caldera views and a hidden church tucked into the rock face kept drawing us deeper in. Every corner seemed to demand another photograph. By the time we finally left, we realised we had only made it as far as Imerovigli.
A collective search for toilets led us to Dear Elie Café, a decision that turned out to be one of the smartest of the day. Coffee became brunch, water bottles were refilled, and morale was restored. Beyond that point there would be no facilities for another
Aris Restaurant, Santorini
It was a lovely way to end a long day of hiking from Fira to Oia and back, with good food, good company and one of the most beautiful dining views in Santorini.
Greece 2026 - Day 4, Santorini
Sailing from the north of Santorini all the way south was honestly one of the highlights of the entire Greece trip for many of us.
Spiridakos Cruise, Santorini
There was something strangely satisfying about having a barbecue lunch in the middle of the Aegean Sea while Mambo Jambo music blasted across our private catamaran.
Kali Kardia, Santorini
Dinner was at Kali Kardia, which fittingly translates to "The Good Heart".
Estate Argyros, Santorini
Santorini is beautiful almost everywhere you turn, but visiting Estate Argyros gave us a deeper appreciation of why the island’s wines are so special.
Remvi Restaurant, Santorini
For sunset views, Remvi certainly delivers. For the food, perhaps trust the scenery more than the sales pitch.
Greece 2026 - Day 2, Athens
Our second day in Athens started early with a visit to the Acropolis.
Greece 2026 - Day 1, Athens
A long but beautiful first full day in Athens. Greece already felt special.
Ristorante Atlantikos
One of our most memorable lunches in Athens came with a small mistake.
