Dining at the best Santorini restaurants with sunset view
Santorini, the iconic gem of Greek summer, lives up to its renowned beauty. While its architectural replicas are seen worldwide, the island’s unique sunsets, cuisine, and volcano remain unmatched. Oia, in particular, stands out—a world-famous town perched high above, offering a picturesque charm beyond imagination and dreamier than any AI could conjure.
In two of Oia’s best hotels, the dream comes to life, especially due to the fantastic culinary opportunities at some of the best Santorini restaurants with a sunset view.
At Andronis, we are committed to offering extraordinary experiences, particularly in culinary artistry. This dedication inspires the annual Andronis Gastronomy Festival. Hosted at Lauda and Lycabettus restaurants, this event is the year’s culinary highlight, celebrating excellence and creativity in gastronomy.
The Andronis Gastronomy Festival 2024 runs from June to August, with details in the Andronis Experience 2024 guide, which also includes the schedule of Music Events at Andronis Arcadia’s Pacman Sunset Restaurant in Oia and the Andronis Minois on Paros island.
