What’s the Best Santorini Food Tour? Eat & Walk Through Fira!

Looking for something fun and unique to do in Santorini? We were, too! So when we saw there was a tour that combined eating at local restaurants and walking the famous Santorini streets we were all in. Here’s our experience on the Eat & Walk Santorini food tour and why you should include it in your island itinerary!

The Delicious Santorini Food Tour Scene 

Beyond the glitz and glamour of Santorini, there is an amazing food scene waiting to be explored. We first found this tour when looking for different things to do on the island and thought it sounded too good to be true.

I mean strolling through magical Fira town while sampling traditional Greek food at some of the best Santorini restaurants? What a way to spend a day in the Greek islands! 

The delicious food in Greece is one of the things that we love most about traveling to the country. Having been several times before, we have tried many local specialties, meals, and drinks. Still, we knew this would be a good refresher and that we’d also be able to taste some new and amazing food.

Eat & Walk Santorini Food Tour

We met our guide at 10am in the main square of Firostefani ready for a day of fun. After some discussion we decided to skip breakfast, and oh are we glad we did! Over the next 4 hours, our tour made over 5 stops at different Santorini restaurants and bakeries with plenty of drinks mixed in.

Our guide was super outgoing, funny, and had a great knowledge of Santorini after living there for 16 years. We could tell immediately that he had a love for the island and a passion for great food! We also appreciated that it was a small group of 8 people and not one of the massive and overwhelming tours you see elsewhere on Santorini.

Aside from the great food, what really makes this tour special is the location. In between restaurants, we would stroll out to the cliffs of Fira or the beautiful stone paths of Firostefani.

It felt like we were always about to come around the corner to another stunning view of Santorini! This really separated the Eat & Walk Santorini food tour from others we’ve done in Europe. 

Our Favorite Santorini Food Tour Stops

On the Eat & Walk Santorini Food Tour, we sampled the diverse cuisine of Greece’s most famous island. We were also impressed with how the food intertwined with the culture and history of Santorini. 

The tour goes to some of the best Santorini restaurants but our guide would also stop and pull bakery treats and other fun snacks out from his bag to try. We’re not going to tell you everything we ate because you should really experience this tour for yourself! Nevertheless, here are a few of our favorites below to give you an idea.

Greek Coffee: Any day is better started with a coffee but this one was serious! On the side of a traditional Greek coffee were grapes smothered in honey.

Tomato Fritters: Tomato fritters (and tomatoes in general) are a staple of Greek food. These crispy treats are the perfect appetizer.

Souvlaki: We’ve eaten plenty of gyros in our day, but haven’t had much souvlaki! These grilled pork sticks were so juicy and a nice switch up from our favorite wrapped sandwich.

Moussaka: This is one of our all-time favorite things to eat so we were elated that it was part of the Santorini food tour! The regular moussaka was good but it was also cool to try a vegan one.

Loukamadas: We ended our Santorini food tour with a delicious dessert! These warm donuts were smothered in honey and the perfect finale to our day of eating.

Drinks on the Eat & Walk Santorini Food Tour

Another part we really enjoyed about this tour was the drinks! If you didn’t know, beer, wine, and local spirits are just as much of a part of Greek cuisine as the food. Obviously, it was a must to have some while tasting these Santorini restaurants.

To us, nothing goes better with traditional Greek food than a glass of ice-cold white wine. It was also fun to experience one of the local breweries on the island as well. Lastly, we even got to taste a shot of the liquor grappa which was such a treat! 

If you’d rather do something more drink-based the same company offers the Santorini Beer Walking Tour. We will definitely be checking this out the next time we visit Santorini.

Should You Take a Santorini Food Tour?

Yes! Whether you’re a food lover or just out for a good time, then you will absolutely enjoy this tour. As seasoned travelers that have been to Greece before (and eaten a lot of food), we still had a blast.

It was definitely great for those who just arrived in Santorini and needed an introduction to Greek food. No matter what, you’re in for a fun day with the Eat & Walk Santorini Food Tour!

Also, be sure to check out our favorite sunset spot on Santorini which is right near where we went on this tour.
