Heading to Santorini island in Greece anytime soon? Well if so, make a date to stop and eat at Pelican Restaurant and Wine Bar. Located in downtown Fira the Pelican is a beautiful place to have dinner. The restaurant is a beautiful garden that really adds to the experience. Grapes hang from the trellis above giving you the feeling you are dining al fresco in a friends grape orchard.
Situated in the cellars below the restaurant are old caves that are now used to house the Pelican’s wine selections.
The Pelican offers wine tastings during the day but if you are in for dinner be sure to ask Maria for the tour of the cellars. It’s a fun experience.
Dug deep below, the caves offer the perfect conditions to store wine and the Pelican has a rather large selection of Santorini and Greek wines.
Here the staff of the Pelican makes a personal appearance to ensure everything is perfect.

Thanks to everyone at the Pelican for making my dinner so great!
