Why Gerakos

What Makes Our Souvlaki the Best in Santorini

When you visit Santorini, you are surrounded by restaurants competing for your attention. But if there is one thing every local will tell you, it is this: for authentic souvlaki and gyros pita in Santorini, there is one name — Gerakos.

We have been grilling the same way for years: quality cuts of pork and chicken, seasoned with traditional Greek spices, cooked over high heat for that perfect char on the outside while staying juicy inside. Nothing frozen. Nothing pre-made. Everything grilled fresh, to order.

Our pita bread is soft and warm, our tzatziki is made from Greek yogurt and fresh cucumber, and our ingredients come from trusted Greek suppliers. Every wrap, every plate, every skewer — made with the same care as the first one.

Souvlaki in Santorini: What Every Tourist Should Know

What is souvlaki?

Souvlaki (σουβλάκι) is Greece's most beloved street food. It refers to small pieces of meat — usually pork or chicken — threaded onto a skewer and grilled over charcoal or a flame grill. The result is a smoky, juicy piece of meat with slightly charred edges, full of flavour.

What is gyros pita?

Gyros pita (γύρος πίτα) is the wrap version of souvlaki. Meat cooked on a tall vertical rotisserie is sliced thin, then loaded into a soft, grilled pita bread with fresh tomato, sliced onion, hand-cut fries and creamy tzatziki. It is the most popular street food in Greece — and at Gerakos, arguably the best in Santorini.

How much does souvlaki cost in Santorini?

Santorini is known for being expensive — but not at Gerakos. We keep our prices accessible so that everyone on the island, from backpackers to families, can enjoy authentic Greek souvlaki without breaking the bank. A full gyros pita wrap costs just a few euros and is more than filling.
