After roaming around all day in the cobbled streets of santorini, I imagine it’s time for you to treat yourself to a delicious meal and a drink while enjoying a breathtaking view of the cliffside. Do not forget about the desserts they’re to die for.
It’s also a romantic spot for couples as this Trip Advisor contributor stated: “Such a romantic little spot! Hubby and I took a little stroll to La Maison while staying in one of the hotels nearby. The day was a bit chilly, and the staff kindly passed around pashminas to keep us warm. The food was great, the wine exquisite. Romance all around, this was a night we won't forget”

Imagine yourself for a moment sipping on a glass of the notorious local wine, watching a spectacular sunset, while listening to classical music, if that sounds like a good plan, then I would highly recommend Franco’s Bar. The cocktails are a bit pricy but totally worth it for the overall vibe and view, not to forget the friendly service.
This review from Trip Advisor says it all: “I've got a huge soft spot for this place, it's got a tremendous view, combined with the classical music they play and a nice drink and it's heaven”
