The Cave of Nikolas
About
Santorini... Akrotiri beach... By the sea, lies for many years a small, traditional cave, build by Uncle Nikolas with his own hands when he was young. Made with lots of love and passion, the cave offered a kind of shelter to himself and his little boat. Always by his side was his wife, Aunt Efstathia, whom her "magical" cuisine made everybody crazy. Unforgettable Spiros Marinatos, headmaster of the excavation project in the archaeological place in Akrotiri, suggested to Uncle Nicolas to alter this shelter in a small tavern, for the hungry workmen of the excavation, offering them traditional and delicious treats such as tomatoballs, fava, "chloro" cheese, spaghetti with sauce and plenty of fresh fish. Over the years, the cave grew fast known to the visitors of the island, since after their visit at the excavation they used to direct to the beach to taste Aunt Efstathias' popular snacks and the rich in taste and spice wine of Uncle Nicolas. In 1981, the "Cave of Nicolas" went on to their daughter, Margarita, who had learnt the art of cooking from Mr Marinatos wife. Her love for traditional cuisine and local products, that herself and her husband, Nicolas grow, gave her a Gourmet Prize, as the best traditional tavern for 2007-2008 in Santorini.Details

Nice location. Good host. Very tasty food. It is recommended. Our landlord recommended this place, which it was a good choice
First of all, since it is located by the sea, this restaurant has a perfect view. The recommendation could be the fact that locals eat here as well as fresh fish and seafood along with great staff and hospitality. Really nice!
On an increasingly crowded and homogenized island, this place stands out for relentless quality and beach taverna vibe. If you have fled Thira and Oia, just go. Outstanding food.
Lovely food and great view right on the water. I would recommend. The Cave shop is also worth a visit
The food here was very tasty and the view was absolutely amazing. If you happen to visit the Akrotiri archeological site, this place is very near and I would definitely recommend it.
It’s a must if you are in santorini. Can’t find words to describe how much we enjoyed every bite of our food!!! It was more than delicious ?
