A Culinary Ode to Santorini’s Soul

Tucked into the historic village of Pyrgos, Selene is one of Santorini’s most celebrated restaurants, renowned for its elegant reinterpretation of traditional Greek cuisine and deep connection to local heritage. Founded in 1986 and now led by Chef Ettore Botrini, Selene sets the standard for refined Cycladic dining.

Rooted in the island’s volcanic terroir and timeless culinary customs, the menu showcases seasonal ingredients such as white aubergine, capers, and Santorini fava—transformed through contemporary technique and thoughtful storytelling. Each dish reflects a commitment to authenticity, elevated by creativity and finesse.

Housed within a former monastery with sweeping views over the island, Selene offers more than a meal—it delivers a cultural experience that blends history, hospitality, and gastronomy with quiet sophistication.
