Aktaion Restaurant

Father Francisco who does the church service close by recommended this humble little restaurant in town. We had traditional Santorini Greek salad, moussaka, cod and the amazing dessert kataifi. Place gets busy after 8. Make sure you book as only small restaurant Service is quick and very friendly

The food is delicious. It's very expensive, but expected given the location. The staff speak English and others. Great ambience, but it the food was so good that it would've been good even if it was closet.

This was some of the best food we had while in Greece (Athens, Milos, Sifnos, and Santorini), and definitely the best meal we had while visiting Santorini. The fava bean dip was unreal. The moussaka and truffle pasta were also quite good!

Love love love the food here! Chanced upon this family restaurant and the food blown our minds! It was so good we came back a second time again for dinner! I think that this is the best meal we had in Santorini! Denis served us both times and he was extraordinary, always making sure that we are comfortable and everything was in order. Thank you very much Denis for making our dining experience such a great one! Good food, good service! Recommended!!

Have tried such lovely places in Santorini, and this one was the only one to disappoint. The Greek salad was awful (there was no seasoning or dressing at all?) the squid and octopus appetizers were also not good. Rubbery, not crispy. The only good food item I had was the shrimp linguine. BUT ABOVE ALL, the service was SO SO BAD. they took forever, forgot items and then had an attitude like we were asking for things “too fast”. Regret coming here

Wow wow wow! A must visit if you are in Santorini. We were so impressed when we visited that we came back a second time to try other menu items. The first time we didn't book, so we were sat inside which was a lovely location, very small but very pretty. Staff were friendly, we had the tomato keftedes and mushroom pasta. Very high quality and delicious! The second time we booked, and were given an incredible table with views across the sea at sunset - wow We tried the feta balls, shrimp pasta, lamb shank and the dessert of the day. Absolutely amazing. The staff were even more friendly than the day before. The lamb shank is a must! Although for a lunch time visit, it was not ready. Exceptional!

This was a charming, and authentic Restaurant which although lacking the glitz of some of the upmarket and much more expensive options pulled no punches. With its delicious fresh and beautifully presented Rustic Santorinian dishes specific to the island, as well as exceptional Greek fare. It was much more reasonably priced than would be found in either the US, or UK. The restaurants real charm is its fidelity to its Greek roots, the concrete façade steeped in Blue and white perched near the cliff overlooking the old harbour. Unlike the generic glass and chrome you might see elsewhere (and which could be anywhere really). The waiter even gave us a complementary digestif, and was a thoughtful but not overbearing server.

Fantastic family-owned restaurant. We had the Sea Bass and homemade pasta with mushrooms pictured. We also tried the traditional mackerel with lentils and were very pleasantly surprised! Make sure to reserve outdoor seating. Highly recommend.
