Roka in Oia, Greek Cuisine with a Different Perspective

In the quiet alleys of Oia, in a neighborhood filled with history and island charm, Roka offers a dining experience that feels both familiar and refreshingly new. Housed in a traditional Santorini home from 1912, with a courtyard full of colors and aromas, this restaurant brings together authenticity and creativity, tradition and a fresh point of view. It’s especially beautiful at midday, when the sunlight gently fills every corner.

A Menu Inspired by Memory and Imagination

At Roka, the menu is more than a list of dishes. It’s a journey through Greek flavors, shaped with care and a touch of surprise. The focus is always on quality, seasonal ingredients and local products, presented in ways that feel both comforting and new.

Some of the standout dishes include:

• a playful version of moussaka with thyme and tomato sauce

• smoked eggplant sfougato with sun-dried tomato, herbs, and feta cream

• pasta shells with fish bolognese, ouzo, and herbs

• shrimp tabbouleh with mint and a bright citrus vinaigrette

• walnut pie served with Greek coffee soup and cinnamon ice cream, a dessert full of warm tradition with a refined twist

Greek Tradition, Thoughtfully Evolved

Many of the ingredients come from Santorini and the surrounding regions. Dishes like handmade louza, Santorini fava, lamb cooked in black garlic and rosemary with trahanas, or red mullet with crispy greens and herb sauce reflect deep respect for Greek cuisine and the creativity to keep it alive and evolving.

The wine list highlights the best of Santorini, from fresh Assyrtiko to aged treasures that complete the experience.

A visit to Roka is something to remember.
