Not every great cafe in Santorini has a caldera view, and that is exactly the point. Seven cafes across the island, each chosen for one specific reason to make the trip. A clifftop espresso above the volcano in Imerovigli. An on-site roastery in Fira where the pourover is made from beans roasted metres away. A working kafeneion in Pyrgos that locals have been using since the village was the island's capital. A cave-carved interior in Oia unlike any other space on the island. A pastry in Firostefani that sells out by noon. A courtyard in Megalochori with no street signage and no tourist foot traffic. A seafront table at Ammoudi Bay where the frappe costs under €3 and the fishing boats are right there. Save this list before your trip.
