About Us
Oia Gefsis is an award-winning Greek restaurant in Oia within the thira municipality of Santorini. We’re in a restored 19th-century captain’s house where our terrace faces west so you get a perfect view of the breathtaking sunset Oia Santorini is famous for. People show up all day long—some for breakfast, others for lunch, and plenty for sunset dining. You’re looking out at panoramic views over the Aegean and Oia’s iconic rooftops. That’s why we’re one of the best restaurants in Oia with sunset view.
We’ve got our sunset bar sitting right in the middle of the terrace. We pour craft cocktails there, plus Santorini wines and Greek spirits. All of that goes great with our traditional Greek dishes, which we make from seasonal ingredients. The whole thing? Pretty memorable dining experience, especially considering you’re in one of the island’s most scenic spots.
Food Philosophy
We cook with respect for tradition and a real love for authentic Greek food. Our dishes honor where we come from by mixing traditional recipes with some modern techniques. Chef Stavros Kavvadas leads our kitchen, and his vision shapes everything on the menu. He’s big on using local ingredients and modern Greek cooking, so everything here is made from scratch. The idea is to share—like you would at a Sunday family table, where the food brings everyone together and turns into more than just a meal.
Ambience & architecture
The sublime ambience of Oia Gefsis perfectly complements your dinner. The restaurant is located in a 19th century captain’s house with the typical cycladic architecture of that era. The traditional decorating combined with contemporary touches creates a warm and unpretentious place ideal for those who seek an authentic experience.
