Dinner at Varoulko Seaside Restaurant

As our great poet Odysseus Elytis once famously said, if you deconstruct Greece, you will see at the end that what is left is an olive tree, a vineyard, and a fishing boat. In the same land, the famous chef Lefteris Lazarou uses these ingredients to create a unique seafood experience in his restaurant, “Varoulko”.

Greece Travel Package 13

And he has done so since 1987 when he first opened the doors of “Varoulko” (which translates into winch) in Piraeus. His recognition came not only in the form of a Michelin star in 2002 –the first one ever awarded to a restaurant serving Greek food in Greece– but in the form of various awards every year.

Relish these flavors while enjoying the surroundings of the beautiful new “Varoulko seaside” restaurant, the picturesque sea view in the Mikrolimano marina where it is situated and its enchanting atmosphere by night, the impeccable service and the affordable prices.

The story of Canaves Oia begins in 1985 when the Chaidemenos family were among the first families to introduce tourism to the fishing village of Oia in Santorini. It was then that Yiannis and Anna Chaidemenos transformed 17th-century caves, once used to store wine, into designer-chic luxury hotel rooms. The birth of the Canaves Oia brand led to the hotel’s all-white minimalistic concept, which redefined the meaning of luxury accommodation in Santorini.

Yiannis and Anna started with 2 caves only and eventually, the hotel expanded to 18 hotel rooms to become the ideal hideaway for romantic couples and newlyweds.

The hotel was completely renovated by the end of 2017.
