Katikies Garden Santorini: A Monastery, a Legend, and Wine Caves

Katikies Garden Santorini offers a different side of the island from the caldera-edge hotels: a serene retreat built around an 18th-century Catholic monastery in the heart of Fira, its courtyards and wine caves steeped in history. It is as much a culinary destination as a place to stay.

At its heart is Selene, a legend of Santorini fine dining that gathers the finest local ingredients for a new take on authentic Cycladic cuisine. The Selene Wine Bar occupies the atmospheric monastery yard, the antique Selene Wine Caves delight connoisseurs, and the rooftop Katikies Pool Deck offers all-day dining with panoramic Caldera views.

For a food-and-wine-led Santorini stay steeped in history, Katikies Garden is a gem.
