Santorini Cruise: Discover Cruises to Santorini

Santorini offers not only plentiful restaurants and taverns tucked away in every corner and alleyway, but also specific regional dishes made in homes and restaurants across the island. Try a few Santorini delicacies while you’re on the island like fava or melitinia. Fava is a creamy, split pea purée, served warm with lemon and olive oil. Fava is an ultimate comfort food and a timeless classic on the island. Or try melitinia, a traditional dessert in the form of a sweet cheese pie. It’s typically served at Easter but also can be found at various bakeries on Santorini. Many dishes at restaurants may incorporate a special variety of eggplant called white eggplant, which thrives in the volcanic soil on the island. White eggplant is sweeter to the taste than its purple counterpart.
