Baba Au Rum Heads to Santorini for Summer 

Athens’ award-winning Baba Au Rum bar will be opening its doors at the Grace Hotel in Santorini on April 15, marking the beginning of a unique and exciting summer season.

Thanos Prunarus and the team of Baba Au Rum, a leading multi awarded Rum & Cocktail bar in downtown Athens, are getting ready to introduce local and international visitors to 363 Bar by Baba Au Rum- redefining the fine drinking scene in the Cycladic islands, by creating an exclusive range of cocktails for their guests to enjoy while overlooking the famous Caldera. 

“One of the best bars in the world travels to the Cycladic island overlooking the Caldera to elevate evenings with premium cocktails, curated by the spirit connoisseur himself and offering a fantastic experience in the Cyclades’ most beloved Grace Hotel Auberge Collection,” announced management at the Grace Hotel. 

Along with the opening of 363 Bar, Grace Santorini also welcomes the exciting launch of Varoulko Santorini, with Michelin star chef Lefteris Lazarou getting set to serve his famous dishes including the exquisite squid with pesto Genovese, an emblem of Lazarou’s creativity, as well as the humble monkfish. 

Grace Hotel is an exclusive boutique hotel in Santorini, perched above the world-famous Caldera with breathtaking views and breathtaking sunsets. Innovatively refurbished rooms and suites showcase a contemporary style, combining cutting edge, bespoke design alongside traditional handcrafted pieces whilst the luxurious bathrooms offer double vanity units with marble carved basins and spacious rain showers with mosaic feature walls.

A Local’s Guide to Eating and Drinking in Santorini 

Born and raised in Santorini, George Sigalas, owner of Above Blue Suites and Amber Light Villas welcomes thousands of guests from around the world each year to his island home. Here he shares his favourite places to eat and drink in Santorini- where visitors can experience great hospitality and taste fresh produce from all around the island! 

Your favourite places to eat out?

There are many good spots but I would recommend Kira Katina in Ammoudi for seafood, Anogi in Imerovigli for traditional island dishes, and also Metaxi Mas in Pyrgos, for the famous Rakomelo. 

Best brunch spots?

In the morning I like to head to TERA NERA in Perivolos as well as Galini Cafe Restaurant

Finest gelato on the island?

For ice cream- Chill Box in Fira and Lolita’s Gelato in Oia.

For an aperitif or a cocktail? 

In Fira, you will find the famous Enigma and Mamounia bars, where you can enjoy a drink and music, as well as PK and Tango Bar

Coolest beach bars in Santorini?

Wet Stories and Yalos– you can’t go wrong at either! 

Finally, must-try local dishes/delicacies?

Santorini Fava, Domatokeftedes, a traditional Santorini salad (with local wild capers), and fried white eggplant. Tip: don’t leave the island without having a glass of Ouzo, while enjoying fresh, local seafood by the sea.
