  • Super cute traditional market off the beaten path. We had a fun drive there on our atv. They sell family made products and wine. We also had a very nice Cafe Latte. The owner is super nice! Highly recommend!
  • My wife and I enjoyed a hiking and cooking class excursion that ended at Faros where the owner Mario taught us how to make several authentic and incredibly delicious Greek dishes. Don’t miss the opportunity to check out their home made wine and wine seller too (we bought 2 bottles to take home with us). If you’re interested in seeing a truer side of Santorini life you should absolutely ask them about one of the hiking tours offer by Arsenios (Maria’s brother).
  • Love this little farm making several products as well as organic wine. We were here in 2017 and couldn't wait to go back. It was upgraded and just as lovely as we remembered. We love the ride out there on our ATV and so happy to see Maria the owner. Will look forward tomorrow next trip there!
  • 4.5 stars for the service. We bought a bottle of red wine from here post sampling. The prices were decent on comparison to the market. The owner of the shop is very friendly and spoke with us to understand our preferences. We had a bowl of fresh fava beans which I enjoyed. I felt the prices were a bit steep but however the quality was noticeable.
  • An authentic taste of Santorini in a traditional farm shop/restaurant. We had a delicious lunch here after visiting the nearby lighthouse.The food was freshly prepared from locally sourced ingredients most of which were grown there. We were served by Maria who was so helpful in suggesting the dishes and generally looking after us.She even took us into the farm to show us the wild capers growing there which they had preserved and served us with the fava bean purée. The tomato fritters were delicious and unique to the island .The fava and capers were also great and went well the Greek salad we also had genuine local food cooked with care and love in a delightful location with great views There is wine and beer available Go there don’t waste your time in the tourist hotspots Thanks Maria
