Traditional Sweet Dishes
Baklava
In Fira, baklava often features local thyme honey, which gives the crisp layers of phyllo and nuts a floral, sun-soaked sweetness that feels uniquely Santorinian.
Kataifi
Kataifi in Fira is prized for its fine, shredded phyllo that crisps into a lace-like nest around spiced nuts, creating a dramatic contrast of textures in every bite.
Loukoumades
Loukoumades are the honeyed puffs of Greek tradition, and in Fira they are still handed out at celebrations and festivals, warm and sticky, often finished with cinnamon or sesame for extra charm.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Moussaka
Moussaka became the iconic layered casserole after a 20th century makeover added creamy béchamel, and in Fira the dish often carries the island's rich tomato and herb flavors.
Souvlaki
Souvlaki is Fira's beloved street-food, grilled over open flame and wrapped in pita with fresh local tomatoes and capers, making it a fast, flavorful taste of Santorini life.
Fava
Santorini fava is actually made from yellow split peas, not fava beans, and the island's volcanic soil gives the silky puree a sweet, earthy depth you will notice from the first spoonful.
Traditional Beverages
Ouzo
Ouzo is the anise-scented spirit of Greek meze culture, and in Fira it is traditionally sipped slowly with seafood while a splash of water turns it milky in a ritual called louche.
Retsina
Retsina is an ancient Greek wine flavored with pine resin, a technique that began with sealing amphorae and evolved into a distinct resinous aroma that locals in Fira still enjoy with grilled fish.
Raki
Raki is a fragrant pomace brandy commonly shared after meals in the Cyclades, and in Fira it is often homemade and served in small glasses to toast new friends and long evenings.
