"Perched above the caldera in Fira, Kaliya combines sleek, modern style with softer touches like silk flowers woven across the entryway and balcony seating overlooking the sea and bustle below. The kitchen reimagines classic Greek and Mediterranean dishes — think Aegean sea bream ceviche with citrus and coconut sorbet, grilled octopus, or a steamed catch of the day — and the wine list leans heavily on the best of Santorini’s producers, including a traditional-method sparkling Assyrtiko by Santo Wines. The staff is well-versed in pairing, and I find a simply prepared fish sings with a crisp, mineral-driven glass of white from nearby vineyards." - Lauren Mowery
