Agistri Restaurant — Restaurant in Municipality of Thira

This place was one of the highlights of my entire trip to Greece this year. The Port of Riba is such a sweet and sleepy contrast to the crowds of Santorini. This Taverna is amazing too. It felt like we experienced proper Greek culture. Nikolas was really welcoming and attentive to all the guests in his Taverna the day we visited. A group of us (30ish) had just run around the whole island, and then descended on him and his staff whilst we waited for the Ferry to come and collect us. He comes to everyone to find out what you want to eat, I didn't see a menu presented to anyone, and the style is more that he will recommend food for you and you get served fresh, local, homegrown options.

Started out good. The atmosphere was very local and rustic. Food came in dribs and drabs. Greek salad, fresh and delicious as was the bean and potato dish.

(what happened to Calamari 1🤔) They did apologise and brought a free beer but the damage was already done. Too bad as we were excited at the...

There’s a small island called Thirasia that you can reach from Oia for just 1 euro. When you get there, you’ll spot a place called Agistri. A restaurant? More like a home. You’ll be welcomed by Nikos—just tell him you’re hungry, and get ready for the best meal you’ve ever had. This is authentic homemade Greek cooking. The best part? There’s no menu—every day brings something new, but it’s always amazing. Before you know it, you’ll be chatting with Nikos, who turns out to speak a bunch of languages. No surprise there—Nikos is a former sailor who’s traveled the world and soaked up all kinds of cultures. Before long, he feels like an old friend, eagerly waiting for your next visit to Thirasia. Who knows, maybe we’ll end up retiring...
