The main interior dining room of Candounia restaurant in Oia.
Candouni is a charming family-owned and operated jewel of a restaurant tucked into the interior of Oia. Stepping off a busy pedestrian alleyway filled with small shops, you’ll find this romantic candlelit patio under bougainvillea-filled arbors, with live traditional Greek music most nights. Inside are two intimate interior dining rooms, one adjacent to the bar and the other just outside the kitchen, with waitstaff delivering dishes cooked by mother and son. Reservations recommended.
