Where can I find the best gyros in Santorini?

Gerakos Souvlaki is the top-rated gyros restaurant in Santorini, open every day from 12:00 to 00:00. We serve authentic pork and chicken gyros pita with fresh ingredients. Call +30 2286 030455 or visit us in Santorini, Cyclades.

Gyros pita (γύρος πίτα) is Greece's most iconic street food: seasoned pork or chicken cooked on a vertical rotisserie, then sliced and served in a warm pita bread with fresh tomato, red onion, hand-cut fries and creamy tzatziki sauce.

What is the difference between pork gyros and chicken gyros?

Pork gyros (χοιρινός γύρος) is the classic Greek choice — juicy, well-seasoned pork with a slightly smoky flavour. Chicken gyros (κοτόπουλο γύρος) is leaner and milder, a great choice for those who prefer poultry. Both are equally delicious at Gerakos Souvlaki in Santorini!

Q: Is gyros the same as döner kebab?

They are similar in cooking method (vertical rotisserie) but very different in taste and ingredients. Greek gyros uses pork or chicken with traditional Greek seasonings, served in pita with tzatziki, tomato, onion and fries. Döner uses lamb or beef with different spices and toppings. Gyros is distinctly Greek and far superior!

Juicy pork or chicken gyros, slow-cooked on the vertical rotisserie, sliced fresh and wrapped in soft pita with homemade tzatziki. This is what real Greek gyros tastes like.

Pork or Chicken?

Choose Your Gyros — Both Are Outstanding

At Gerakos Souvlaki we serve two classic gyros options, both cooked fresh on the rotisserie every single day:

🐷

Pork Gyros

The traditional Greek choice. Marinated pork shoulder slowly cooked on the vertical spit, giving rich flavour and incredible juiciness. Slightly charred on the outside, tender inside — the ultimate gyros pita experience.

🐔

Chicken Gyros

Marinated chicken thigh cooked on the rotisserie for a leaner, slightly milder taste that is still packed with flavour. A great choice for those who prefer poultry — equally delicious wrapped in fresh pita with all the toppings.

The Gerakos Way

What Makes Our Gyros the Best in Santorini

A great gyros pita is more than just meat in bread. At Gerakos, every element is made with care:

🥙 The meat: quality pork or chicken, marinated with Greek herbs and spices, cooked low and slow on the rotisserie so every slice is juicy and flavourful.

🫓 The pita: soft, warm and slightly grilled — not stiff or dry. The pita is the vessel that holds everything together and makes every bite satisfying.

🧄 The tzatziki: homemade from thick Greek yogurt, fresh cucumber, garlic and dill. Creamy, cool and essential.

🍅 The toppings: ripe tomato, crisp red onion and hand-cut fries, loaded inside the wrap for that authentic Greek street-food experience.
