Food Scene
Becoming a fan of this place slowly-slowly as food is improving with time. Located by the Cathedral in Fira also has a balcony overlooking the Caldera, which you should try and get seated on.

By far my favorite on the island, a modern version of the typical Santorini cuisine. A bit hard to find (so ask before you go) but very popular with the locals (so book before you go!) is well worth.

This is one of the oldest restaurants of Santorini! Managed by a descendant of the initial owner, Mr. Evangelos Roussos. A must visit establishment! Very cozy 90+ year old, traditional restaurant in the middle of Firostefani with cooked meats and some very delicious Santorini dishes. Choose either the patio or the Caldera view and engage on Greeks’ favorite pastime: Watching passers-by! Call Mr. Evangelos for reservation+30 22860 22336.

Our favorite near-by fresh fish tavern. Ask for Sofia, she speaks several languages! Call her at +30 2286 031750. Tell them that you are friends of Ivi and Byron and Dimitris Beis from the Monolithos Villa.

One of our favourite, with excellent island recipes and cozy courtyard, off the beaten track in Finikia village. Nevertheless, call for a reservation at +30 22860 71993. Ask for Mr. Antonis the owner.

Parks & Nature
The most convenient beach of Monolithos is located within walking distance, only 150m from the Villa. If you have a family with small children, the Monolithos beach is your ideal destination. As a result of its shallow waters, big waves do not reach the beach. There is also an organized playground keeping kids busy until 7 o’clock in the evening. For teenagers or adults, there are beach volleyball and basketball courts, as well as a soccer field.
Scenery: Spacious flat beach with dark-colored fine-grained sand and shallow waters, quiet and very well organized. Beach chairs are not too close one with another, so there is enough room for walking in between.

Aery nice beach as well on the south end of the island, has a small and quiet beach bar you will enjoy very much. Top (and only) beach bar is Theros: Book your sun beds before going to avoid disappointment http://www.theroswavebar.gr. Actually now that I think of it, a breathtaking scenery, so ‘a must go’!!!

Arts & Culture
The archaeological site of Akrotiri, one of the most important ones in the Eastern Mediterranean, is once again open to the public. At the site, a tribute to the archaeological treasures of Santorini.

Drinks & Nightlife
Mainstream bar on the Caldera in Fira. Gets pretty crowded during the peak season but is a perfect spot to either end an early evening after dinner or warm up for a drinking marathon.

Enigma’s arch rival (you guessed it, opposite Enigma) seems to have a lot of traction with tourists as it provides a inside area (with a dancing pole if you re drunk enough) and comfy couches outside (in case you want to pass out).
