From June to September, food lovers and self-proclaimed gourmands will be flocking to the sun-soaked islands of Santorini, Greece, for the exclusive Andronis Gastronomy Festival. Guests will experience sublime dining brought to you by Michelin starred chefs in three seaside locations across three months. With almost four annual festivals under their belt, this is a foodies delight.

The Restaurants
Surround yourself in blue at what is possibly the most famous terrace dining in the world. Lycabettus Restaurant will have you dining on the edge of a cliff… literally. With the classic Santorini blue skies above and blue ocean below, you almost wont know where to look… that is, of course, until the food arrives.
Lauda Restaurant is one of the foremost private restaurants in Santorini. Paying homage to traditional cuisine, the restaurant only sources exceptional local ingredients. With a strong devotion to the island, the volcanic soil, native grapes, the aromas, colours and flavours of beautiful Santorini offer an authentic dining experience.
A gastronomic experience at sunset. That is what you will find at Throubi Restaurant. Aiming to provide an exciting, relaxing dining experience to its guests, each plate of food served is a work of art. An exceptional dining experience involves two important aspects: passionate team and thrilling cuisine… and the spectacular volcanic views make it all the better.
