restaurant

View all Restaurants โ†’

Selene sits high above the caldera in Pyrgos village, framed by volcanic stone walls and views that stretch across the Aegean. The dining room is spare and elegant, with whitewashed surfaces and candlelight that sharpens as the sun drops behind the crater rim. The atmosphere is quiet, deliberate, and entirely serious about food.

The kitchen builds its menu around Santorini's own terroir: fava from the volcanic soil of Akrotiri, white eggplant, Assyrtiko grapes, and capers that grow wild from cliff faces. Every plate reads like a precise argument for why island ingredients need no embellishment. This is the rare restaurant where the land itself has a seat at the table.
