- Eva C3 contributionsHoneynoomWe did the olive oil & honey tasting and was blown away. We learned so much about them. We bought several oils and the pine honey. It was a great experience and Danezi was top notch. We had cocktails at the bar and they were delicious. This is a must if you're ever in Fira.Visited September 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 10 October 2023
- Savannah C1 contributionComfy and cozy bar experienceSTOA bar is amazing! My mom and I found this place while trying to avoid all the cruise ship tourist; the bar made us feel right at home. The owner and bartender were very friendly and the bartender gave us two different shots on the house to try as we mentioned we were headed off to Crete. I would highly recommend visiting them as you will have yummy drinks and great company by the staff.Visited May 2024Travelled with familyWritten 14 May 2024

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool and the staff is amazing!! They know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Cocktails are the bomb and for their prices it’s 100% worth it. Go here while staying in santorini:)

Attracted by the reviews, on my last evening in Fira I decided to have 2 cocktails with my girlfriend in this place. We took 1 Simmetry and 1 Psycologi, perfect cocktails, not diluted and not with 8/10 ice cubes like in other places! Truly made with care and skill for a unique and inimitable flavour!
Prices are the same as in the other bars on Santorini, unfortunately on the island almost everywhere cocktails cost from 10 to 15 euros! At least the ones made in this place are well spent unlike the others! They also brought us some "chips" to accompany the cocktails! Advised !

My wife and I stumbled on STOA while walking around Fira, and we couldn’t be happier that we did. Stathis greeted us immediately, gave us the rundown of his bar and liquor selection (which is unrivaled), and set out making sure he found our perfect drink. He sampled a few rare liquors with us, and was extremely helpful. I was blown away at the bourbon selection (Blanton’s in Greece? It’s hard enough to find in America). Unfortunately, we didn’t have time for any tastings, but I will be back, given the opportunity.

We stopped by after sunset for drinks and shisha and because of the good reviews for here. They are clearly for the drinks - as this was the worst shisha I have ever experienced (I lived in the Middle East for years).
The double apple I ordered was unsmokable. It made me cough straight away and the shisha guy argued with me when I said it was not smooth. I am a regular user and it was horrible. His attitude was defensive and arrogant. Zero care for customer satisfaction. He eventually agreed to change it for watermelon, which at least was smooth. But neither of them tasted as they should. And he never came back to tend to it. It was €25 wasted, on the most expensive shisha I've seen anywhere.
The drinks were fine and the lovely barman gave us a free digestif as an apology for the shisha guy's attitude. However, we did not feel like staying around so left and went elsewhere.

Service at noon is much better than at night. Mr. Nikos is always there to serve you in whatever you need. Even in the hookah, he will take care to change the coals on time and see if everything is fine. I work on the island and Nikos' service and their hookah is a tangible reason I go so often. Also very nice coffee and cocktails.
Congratulations
Congratulations

Add olive oil and honey tasting at Stoa as a must-do to your Santorini itinerary! A completely unique experience you won't find anywhere else on the island. Stathis was so incredibly knowledgeable and hospitable, it was definitely a highlight of our trip. Amazing value for money and we learnt so much! M & N

My husband and I went to this lovely place called Stoa, where we had amazing music (with DJ) and great cocktails. Great atmosphere, and very cool design. We were looking for a taxi and the owner was very kind to help us find one. Very service-minded staff, great management, cocktails and music. Loved it!

Second time I visited this place and was really worth it..! Cozy atmosphere, a cool place you don't expect to find in the very busy and touristy area of the island.
Drinks were great, with fresh fruits and really generous portions...!! Can't miss it

Really cosy place with a variety of cocktails and drinks, in the centre of thira. In my opinion the best Shisa you can find with affordable prices. The people that work there are very friendly and they don’t mind doing an extra step soo you don’t lack of anything.
