As you can imagine food and drink on a Greek island is
incredible. I’m not going to lie, we really did eat and drink a lot, all day,
every day and it was brilliant. As I’ve mentioned before where we were staying
it was self catering, so we just had drinks there in the evenings. But for
everything else we ventured out to the beach as that’s where all the bars and restaurants
are. We made a point of going somewhere different for lunch and dinner so we got
to try out as many places as possible which was great as everywhere really was
different and we got to try all different food. We didn’t really have
breakfast, maybe a bit of fruit and bread a couple of days and we went out one
morning towards the end just to see what it was like, my mushroom, spinach and
feta omelette was to die for! For the two of us, with drinks, lunch was usually
about 20Euros and dinner was upwards of 40 Euros which we thought was pretty reasonable
as it included starters, mains and drinks. Local beer and wine is about 3/4 Euros
and spirits/cocktails are upwards of 5 Euros, more around the 7/8 area but they’re
pretty generous and not measured. Being on an island there's plenty of fish to choose from too and it's a lot cheaper than over here. We had a seafood risotto one night which was delicious! Believe me when I say they put feta with
everything by the way and I mean literally everything, even for breakfast and I don’t mean a little
sprinkle I mean full on blocks of the stuff! They love, we love and it I’m now
having cheese withdrawals! Close to our hotel was a little supermarket which was brilliant, they had everything you could need and didn't cost a bomb either. We went there a couple of times during the week for fruit, bread, snacks, water etc. You could get a 2L bottle of house wine for 3Euros which was perfect for James (I don't like it), he even wanted to fill his suitcase full for the way home but I talked him out of it... eventually! The service we had was always great too, everyone was really friendly and always happy to chat to you. A couple of places give you free dessert too! The one thing i am disappointed with is we didn't get to try any waffles, we'd walked past this place everyday and said we'd go back but in the end we just didn't have time. Oh well, it gives me a perfect excuse to go back.. to try the waffles!
Please note food and drinks were much more expensive in Oia. We stayed and ate out in Perissa.
My sister and I are going to Santorin in September and this was a very helpful post! I've been wondering how pricy the food would be... Everything looks delicious! Can't wait :D
