Where is the street food in Santorini actually good?
Santorini is not a street food island, and pretending otherwise wastes your time and money. The closest thing to reliable, affordable quick eating happens in Fira's market street (Erythrou Stavrou) and the back lanes around it, where you'll find gyros shops serving decent souvlaki for 3-4 euros -- nothing revelatory, but honest food. The bakeries scattered through Fira and Oia do well by tiropita and spanakopita in the morning, warm from the oven, and those are worth stopping for. Pyrgos village has a slightly more local character than the tourist centers and a better chance of finding a family-run spot where the food reflects actual Greek cooking rather than a menu designed for cruise passengers. The broader truth is that Santorini's culinary strengths are sit-down tavernas and the island's wine, not anything eaten standing up. If street food is the priority, Athens or Thessaloniki serve that need far better.
