Full Description
Nestled on Agios Georgios Beach in Perivolos, Savvas Popeye Restaurant serves the tastes of Santorini’s sea and land in a picturesque beachfront setting loved by both locals and visitors. Every day, the family’s fishing caique brings in the fresh catch, while vegetables arrive from local farmers and carefully selected products come from trusted Greek producers.
The story of Savvas Popeye goes back to 1956, when Grandpa Haralambos opened the first tavern at Perissa Beach for local fishermen to rest and dine. In 1984, his son Savvas returned from years at sea and reintroduced the tavern, naming the family’s fishing caique “Popeye”. Today, the restaurant has moved to Perivolos and the third generation, chef and oenologist Spyros together with Popi, welcome you with the same passion and hospitality.
At Savvas Popeye you can expect fresh fish and seafood, traditional Santorinian dishes and creative flavours. The menu features the day’s catch, which you can choose directly from the fish display, alongside classics such as tomato fritters, Santorini fava and taramosalata, as well as ceviche, carpaccio, seafood pasta and options for meat lovers. Everything is prepared with respect for the ingredients and love for good food.
