Tzanakis

Top choice in Santorini


A local institution into its third decade, this family-run taverna uses vegetables and herbs grown in its garden and meat and fish sourced from farmer and fisher friends to cook up such classics as tomato balls, courgette fritters, goat with lemon sauce, domadakia (stuffed vine leaves) and more.
