Character
About
When in Santorini, Character is the local business that diners seek out on Ipapantis in Thira 847 00, Greece, a restaurant set in the island's capital. The address places it in the heart of Thira, the main town on the caldera rim, where lanes run between whitewashed houses and tavernas. It is a restaurant rather than a bar or café, and the kitchen serves the sort of Greek island cooking that visitors come to Santorini to eat.
Character has built a following on Santorini for its table, and a rating of 4.5 out of 5 from 940 reviews shows how consistently guests respond to it. That volume of feedback places it among the more reviewed restaurants in Thira. The menu follows the island's tradition of fresh seafood, olive oil, feta and local cheeses, and grilled meats. Fira, the island's capital, sits just beside the address, so the restaurant is easy to fold into a day of walking the caldera edge.

Santorini's Mediterranean climate brings hot, dry summers and mild winters, and the busiest months fall between June and September, so a table in high summer is worth arranging ahead. Greek island cooking leans on seafood, olive oil, feta and other local cheeses, and grilled meats, which is what fills the tables here. Arriving on Santorini is a matter of ferries between the Greek islands or flights from Athens and other major hubs. Greek is the everyday language of the island, and a handful of phrases in it are welcomed by those who live there. Oia, Imerovigli and Firostefani sit within easy reach of Thira, so the restaurant fits naturally into a wider circuit of the island.
