Tucked away from the tourist drag, this is where the value-and-flavour crowd ends up — big, hearty portions, a relaxed terrace, and a view east over the countryside rather than the caldera. Book ahead or don't bother.
Metaxi Mas is a Greek/Cretan taverna in the village of Exo Gonia, away from the caldera tourist strip, serving on a terrace over the eastern countryside. · santorini-metaximas.gr
The taverna is small and very popular; reservations are strongly recommended, especially for dinner in high season. · tripadvisor.com
