Cava Alta

About

Cava Alta is a Mediterranean‑inspired haven perched in the historic village of Pyrgos on Santorini. The restaurant occupies a former “Canavospito” built in 1922, where local winemakers once pressed grapes into traditional stone‑cooled tanks. Today the two‑story building retains its charming vaulted ceilings, cycladic décor, and a roof terrace that offers sweeping, uninterrupted views of the Aegean Sea and the island’s volcanic landscape. The menu is a celebration of fresh, local ingredients combined with bold Mediterranean flavors. Each dish—whether a classic Greek meze, a grilled seafood specialty or a homemade dessert—reflects the island’s culinary heritage while employing modern techniques. Complementary to the food is a well‑curated wine list featuring renowned Greek varieties, ready to pair with every course. Guests can enjoy a relaxed dining experience in a setting that blends the romance of a historic winery with the contemporary comfort of a modern restaurant. Whether you visit for lunch, sunset dinner, or a special celebration, Cava Alta promises unforgettable flavors, stellar service, and an unmatched panoramic backdrop of Santorini’s sunset sky.
