As a greek..his information is so accurate and just...so well explained...I approve this channel 100% , I hope all people who plan to come here see his videos before coming, even I have subscribed (coz I'll go to Santorini). But yes he explains everything soooo well and gives us great information. Thank you!!!
My wife and I visited Santorini last month, Sebi vids were a complete guide, I recommend everyone is planning to visit Santorini to watch all videos about it. It will definitely be easier trip.
Our trip was so great there in santorini, you know why? Because of you MR. SEBBI, thank you so much for all of those tips and tricks you've share to us its really helpful 👌👌👌
Can’t wait!
Thanks for the good info, I’m heading to Santorini in late September for few days, looking forward to it.
Thanks man !
Thank you for so many information!
VERY WELL EXPLAINED !
thanks
Great advice - thank you!!
Tks again!
My favourite Santorini food is a gyros pita (that's what they call it) from the stand on the north side of the main square of Fira, on the road to Imerovigli. I think they're called Bayiatiko. I've first been there in 1985 and have been going there each time I was in Santorini, and they're still good.
The funny thing is that bayiatico in Greek means, Not fresh…., or stale.
Thanks for the videos bud. 🫡
Your channel is awesome, thanks for the great content :)
I just love all your content, excellent
Can't believe luckys still there after all these years. I ate there first time I went in 2000.
Thanks for the tips Seb. It'll come in handy! 😊
The best tour guide🥰🥰
New subscriber. Preparing for my trip to Greece and your videos have been so helpful! Thank you so much!
Excellent......Explained in a clear manner. Hatts off to you man.👋
Haha wow thanks for explaining the difference.in america that whole pita with the meat is what we call GYRO. This is good to know before my trip the difference you just explained :)
We had the most amazing time in Santorini because of everything we learnt after watching videos !! THANK YOU we can’t wait to return to Santorini it was fabulous 😊
We were in Oia in October and we ate at Pitogyros a couple times for lunch and it was delicious!
I am so happy I find your channel before my travel to Santorini and Athens in october, very well explained videos and good advices. Thank you and continue on the good job.
We will for sure book a tour with you.
Your videos have been super helpful for planning our upcoming trip to Greece! I was wondering if you would please make a food video like this one for Athens?
Last year we had a „kebab pita“ with lamb and beef at Lucky‘s Souvlaki, it was soo good! 🤤 Great video Sebi! 🙌🏼
Once again, Bravo! You’re videos are the best. “Sunsets restaurant” at the top of Oia is our favorite place and the lamb ribs at KASTELI is the best thing I’ve ever eaten.
Πολύ σωστά τα λες. Greece Explained
Thank you so much for this information I've been to Santorini 3times on cruises never had the pleasure of staying over to see the sun sets, I didn't realise there was so much going on there its my favourite Greek island it really is the jewel of the med
Thanks for the useful insight, will be VERY helpful when we visit Santorini. Love & respect from Bangladesh
Kalimera Sebastian. Just wanted to say a massive thank you for your information. I still see so many folk getting the terminology about "Souvlaki" pitta, Gyros etc wrong. I feel well prepared now, for when I go back in May next year x all your videos are amazing, so many would benefit by seeing them before going.❤
JUST ATE AT NICKY THE GRILL AND IT IS REALLY GOOD !! TKS FOR THE TIP
After your masterclass on how ordering a slouvaki, I would definitely choose a slouvaki with lamb and "everything" (except onion but replaced by more tzatziki, lol).
GOLD
Sebastian let's not start the discussion between Souvlaki and kalamaki!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Salonika girl here! 😄
Let start discussion between sandwich with alifi
Don't even listen to her!
Athens here: it's called kalamaki form Ancient Greece!!
Hi Sebastian, thanks for your videos they are all very interesting !!
Just to let you know :
In greek the word "souvlaki" means "small skewer " (usually of pork or chicken).
Actually, souvlaki and kalamaki are the same thing. The difference comes from the region where in north of Greece we call it souvlaki and in south of Greece we call it kalamaki.
So you order first a pita then what kind of meat you want inside (usually : gyros, souvlaki/kalamaki or bifteki wich is a meatball) and then what kind of dressing (fries, onions, tomatoes) and sauce you want (ketchup, mustard, tzatziki, tirokafteri, rosiki,...)
I hope this helped you, thank you again for your videos :)
This is one of the best videos I have ever seen! I have been wondering how to order during my upcoming trip and your step by step instructions were PERFECT!!! Thank you!
See more videos
Souvlaki are common in Chicago due to Greek immigrants but due to a low carb diet I eat it without pita. Now I know how to order. Lamb is outstanding and is the standard here.
Lettuce on a Gyro is for Americans. Yiasou Sebastian, love your channel. My wife and I are planning a trip for next year. Been 30 years since I was in Greece. Yiasou. My uncle had a bakery on Salamina, man, the memories! 🇬🇷
Sebastian. Thank you once again my friend 👍👍👍👌 GIANNI
Now I know where to get good chep food in Santorini 😊👍
We took your wonderful night Oia tour, then took your advice on restaurants from the video. Karma was wonderful, and great for vegetarians! Favorite meal of our trip. Thank you!
Awesome to hear ! Thx for letting me know Adam. All the best !!
The only problem with watching this channel, especially the food part, is it makes me want to compulsively order plane tickets, like RIGHT NOW!
Lucky's is being so far the best. Went 3x times in 4 days this week already and never fails.
Best Gyros in Santorini is Pitogyros Traditional Grill House in Oia. Really outsdanding! They cook the meat in carcoal, really tasty!
also try ''gyros place'' in perissa!!! THEIR GYRO PITAS ...EXCELLENT!!!
Last week i went to Santorini i went 3 times in lucky and 1 in nick and grill in fira . Nick’s place in Oia was good to . Very cheap price
Ha, last September at the end of the tour you gave us, we asked for a good food place as we were a bit peckish, you pointed us right at Svoronos! We are writing down all the destinations you're talking about in these videos and will come back soon! Krys&Rui
Miss you guys ❤
For spicy food the champ is Skordalia 😂😂😂😂 or Alliada as it’s called in Kephallonia which is the island and only spot in Greece where you can find the 💪💪💪💪 stronger one.
I crave Luckys all year
Hi. Love your videos. Can you make a video on best restaurants in Karami Beach area? Thank you
Here you go : To Pinakio, Fistikies, Amelia and Koralli :-)
You explain the situation of making more money for a sit down restaurant but still they should sell gyros ,for 7.95 at a profit margin ,gyros are 10 dollars in america why not 10 dollars in greece.thanks for your help today with explaining everything.🙏👍
There in Fira last Setember 2022, visiting again Oct 2023
This was a good video, but a few things from someone who has been to Santorini 16+ times. 1) I'm not a fan of Lucky's at all. Nick the Grill and Korvounaki are my souvlaki go to. 2) Great call on Family for a classic late night pizza slice. Considering the price and location, they still put out a high quality product that doesn't disappoint and uses good ingredients and that excellent wood fired oven. 3) Santorini has an awesome local cuisine, unlike most of the heavy tourist islands, and it is done best in restaurants. The best ones are quite reasonable in price, like Ouzeri and Mexati Mas. Street food is nice, but don't miss out.
❤❤❤❤❤
I’m going to Santorini in a couple of weeks. Would love to view your vegan recommendations☺️
His 3rd recommendation, Karma, was WONDERFUL and had a dozen vegan options with hearty protein and veg mixes. Highly recommended! And FalafelLAND in Thera is a great veg/vegan place that's cheap, fun, and lots of options.
If any Brits are wandering about sauce, it's a lot like salad cream and beautiful ✌️
I have been watching many of your videos about Greece, especially Athens and Santorini. They are so informative for first-timers like my partner and I.
Thank you so much for providing the information that we needed to know.
We are going to Athens for a couple of nights, then to Santorini for a week in early July. Since my partner is allergic to gluten, are there any gluten-free bakeries and restaurants in Santorini or places that serve gluten free options? Thanks.
Not that I know of, sorry !
Your videos are so informative, thank you! Can you please share some places where gluten-free options are available, preferably in Fira and Monolithos?
I'm not aware of any gluten-free restaurants / street food in Santorini, sorry
❤❤❤
Was in Santorini years ago for weedinf had lots of slicaky
I’ve been going to Greece for a long time, personally dislike the “sauce” revolution lol, but my family seems to like it. I get tzatziki on all my pitas. I first remember sauce starting around 2005 or so, but I could be wrong
"Σως" it's horrible.
Tzatziki only or tomato sauce it's the only authentic souvlaki
Would love to see your video on vegitarian (no egg, no fish, no meat)
It's coming :-)
Thank you so much for the invaluable videos!
You are in Athens now?
I do not know how to contact you, or to get recommendations for a tour guide in Santorini.
Thanks for any info!
You can email me at sebitheguide@gmail.com or DM me on instagram at @sebi_the_guide
Efharisto parapoli, kumbaras:)
Thanks for the advice. We're heading to Santorini next week. Curious about the vegetarian food spots. Already saved the falafel place and the karma restaurant ☺️ any other good spots? Thx!
"5 senses" in Fira and "Tranquilo" in Perissa
@@GreeceExplained great. Thank you. See you at the night tour in 2 weeks! ☺️
The Culinary Letdown: A Californian Quest for Gourmet in Greece:
When our food-obsessed group, proudly wearing our Californian foodie badges, decided to embark on a culinary journey to Athens, our spirits were as high as the ancient Acropolis. The land that gifted the world democracy surely had a plethora of flavors awaiting us. Instead, we were met with a flavor plateau that left us yearning for more.
The perpetual offering of souvlakis with unapologetically stale bread became a predictable fixture of our Athenian dining experience. The red and green bell peppers dolmas, while vibrant on the plate, echoed a monotonous tone on our palates. We couldn't help but wonder: Where was the fresh baked bread warm from the hearth? Or the comforting embrace of a hot soup or the gentle warmth of a well-brewed tea? Aspects that should have been staples in such a storied land.
Ironically, back in the Golden State, our local Whole Foods flaunts an olive bar that is reminiscent of a mini Mediterranean festival. Yet, in Athens, supermarkets seemed to treat olives with casual indifference, limiting their variety and essence.
Having explored more than 80 establishments across mainland Greece and its islands, our enthusiasm began to wane. We found ourselves booking a hasty weekend retreat to the gastronomic haven of Antalya, Turkey. And what a relief that was! Turkey, with its rich culinary canvas, proved to be a stark contrast. The food was not just food - it was art, it was a story, it was, dare we say, seductive
Hey, thank you for this video, so insightful.. I want to understand are Cafes and Bars actually closed in Santorini during the month of January? I have been reading this in a couple of blogs, and not sure if it is relevant now.. Could you please share some light on the same? Thank you..
Yes cafes and bars will be closed in January. There might be a few exceptions here and there, but at least 90% of the island will be closed.
Great video! Is it possible to pay by credit card, Sebastian?

@@GreeceExplained thanks!
Will you be coming to Santorini to be a tour guide this September 2023? Would love to take some tours with you. Also what is your recommended for a US traveler to bring in euros? We know we can use our cc at most places.
Hey ! I'm no longer in Santorini sorry.
I recommend this private tour instead : bit.ly/3O2gZiT
Regarding credit cards and spending money, I explain everything here : th-cam.com/video/FUgs12t-IJU/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for this video. My wife and I will be visiting in August and we can hardly wait. Big fans of street foods with local beer. Can you direct me to someplace that has a cigar humidor? I would like to buy and smoke a few hand rolled premium cigars while I'm there. Not machine made cigarillos mind you. The kind that are imported from Mexico or Nicaragua.
Cigars are not a common thing at all in Santorini. This one MIGHT have what you're looking for, but I cant promise : www.google.com/maps/place/Volcano+Cannabis+Shop+End+Hookah-shisa/@36.4154443,25.4331392,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x59326a73bc8eb529!8m2!3d36.4154443!4d25.4331392
Please make some videos how to book restaurant there for fine dine
Its coming :-)
Is there a food delivery service in Santorini, such as Doordash or Uber Eats? We will be in Akrotiri and it would be nice to have a few of our meals delivered so we can beat the crowds and eat on our patio!
No there isnt. Not even for the locals ... :-/
Can you please make a video of halal food places in Santorini for Muslims? I'll come in July 🥺
I havent heard of any halal food here. Sorry
amazing guiding...I am a guide in Croatia......
Hi there, can you tell me what is the season that these restaurants and bakeries typically operate? I am wondering if there will be food options available for us when we are there at the very end of March and into early April....
Sure ! You will find all the info here : th-cam.com/video/EhVQBOJLeyk/w-d-xo.html
Thank you!
No mention of Kamari?
is the GPS spot you shared in FIRA ok for viewing the sunset or is it super crowded?
Medium crowded. Much better than Oia for sure.
Is Fira on top of Santorini reachable with cable car? We’re cruising there next month. Thank you.
Did you already watch this vid ? th-cam.com/video/IcU3n3Efmew/w-d-xo.html
Any advice for eating gluten free, no wheat, bread, pita, for someone with celiacs disease? Where to eat? How to order?
Sorry I dont know about any gluten free places in Santorini
Vegetarian please 🙏
Please look for my "best vegan restaurants" video
"Difference between gyros and kalamaki" αδερφέ, these are fighting words, be careful next time you go to Thessaloniki 🤣 Otherwise, well said I enjoy your videos!
is there an vegeterian or vegan option?
th-cam.com/video/vlzfnZu0BoA/w-d-xo.html
Whats the difference between souvlaki and kalamaki?
For Northern Greeks :
- Souvlaki = meat stick
- Kalamaki = straw (like a paper straw)
For Southern Greeks :
- Souvlaki = wrap with everything inside
- Kalamaki = meat stick
In Santorini, they use a mix of both. So its better not to use the word "souvlaki" coz you might get sthg else than you wanted.
If you want a meat stick, say kalamaki.
If you want a wrap, say pita.
If i order only 1 gyros. Do i take away the's' and say gyro
"Gyros" is singular in Greek :-)
Thank you for your videos! I saw you have a vegan video. Would love to see a video with gluten free tips!
Hey Lisa ! Sorry I dont know any gluten free restaurant / bakery !
The North Greece naming is the right one.
But us people in Athens do not care and call it all Souvlaki
My friend , What’s for vegetarians who don’t even eat Eggs ?
th-cam.com/video/vlzfnZu0BoA/w-d-xo.html
Gyros is worth 3euros in the mainland... just saying :P
santorini is a tourist island if you want to eat real perfect greek food you have to go where NO TOURISTS are
the Spanakopita shown here is like a POLO 1.3 the perfect spanakopita is a Aston Martin Vanquish and not like this here shown but you have to be a greek to say this
Ther is no Chloro whatsoever in Santorini even in Svoronos.
Did you go to The Good Heart or The Cave of Nikolas ?
@@GreeceExplained Unfortunately I did not
Gyros = Pastor
souvlaki is the small pieces not the kalamaki
Who the hell puts ketchup on gyros for God's sake
I'd avoid Lucky's if possible, the person preparing the souvlaki was such a giant POS and served people behind me in the queue first while mocking me. Honestly one of the worst experiences I had in Greece.
its YEEROS for gods shake not GYROS!!!!!!!!
No man, souvlaki is what they call the meat on the stick. No wrap no vegetables.
Yup thats true if the shop owner is from Northern Greece. That's what I explain at 1:43 :-)
*please please humans, stop eating RAW ONIONS*
Too much talking !! Very few pictures and videos 👎
