Santorini is prized for its rich array of produce and is known for its sweet tomatoes, large variety of cucumbers and unique flavour of capers. If you are travelling to this Greek island, be sure to try some of the local delicacies, including: Fava (a purée made from broad beans), tomatokeftdes (aka tomato fritters) and the traditional Sanotrini Sfougato (a quiche, minus the pastry, combining courgettes, spearmint and feta). The flourishing wine industry on the island typically produces dry whites with citrus notes and salty aromas created by the ashy volcanic soil, made from Santorini’s indigenous Greek grape, Assyrtiko. To enjoy these and other typical ingredients of Santorini, you can book a table at one of the islands most popular restaurants, including: To Psaraki for some of the finest seafood, the award winning Koukoumavlos and the authentic Greek cuisine of Lefke.
