We came as we enjoy microbrewerys whenever we travel and wanted to learn more about the brewery and taste their beers. We came without previous booking and the manager/owner received us and made a quick exception as they were hosting a private event served us some great food and a beer flight with a quick explanation of each beer. Great service, as we were leaving he offered us some more tap beer for the way to watch the sunset. He had no idea we already tipped or anything just great people around this island, great location for a microbrewery, great beers show some love if you pass through. They are worth it.

This is a pretty little brewery, taproom and restaurant set on the ridge of the Caldera along which the major road runs. Set amid the vineyards of the classic basket vines that are to be found all over Santorini, this modern looking building is a beautiful cool space to spend some idyllic hours, especially during the sun-blasted afternoons in Santorini. At the time of this review, there were five beers on tap: a witbier, a lager, a pale ale, a double IPA, and a wine-beer hybrid of the lager and a white wine from the local vines. The beers were all solidly executed and fresh. They had aroma and palate profiles that would be familiar to anybody who appreciates craft beer. To me, having this beer on Santorini, was nothing short of a minor miracle, given how the tap water tasted and how even salinity appeared in the wine, it was amazing to me that such clean styles could be executed. You have a nice view of the brew facility from the dining room through tall glass windows. Everything looks shiny, and well-maintained. There is a service area next to the dining area where there are plans to serve beers directly from six fermenters…so definitely inquire about this possibility when visiting. The gift shop is well-stocked with options to remember your time at the Ftelos Brewing Company. As the brewery is sometimes visited by tour groups, the dining room may possibly be closed to cater to these visiting groups. You’ll still be able to have beers, just no food during these times. I highly recommend visiting the Ftelos Brewing Company when in Santorini whether for an afternoon beer or two or for dinner where the menu is satisfyingly extensive.

The beer tasting experience (25€/ person) was amazing. They served us 6 glasses of beer, each different from the other but all of them excellent (the two IPAs being our favourite). The finger food that accompanied the beer was also very tasty and pleasant. The waitstaff were also very polite, knowledgeable and most importantly discreet. Thank you for the great service.

Visiting Ftelos Brewery in Santorini was an unforgettable experience. The ambiance was fantastic, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, providing excellent recommendations and insights into the brewing process. The brewery itself is beautifully designed, blending modern aesthetics with traditional Greek elements. The outdoor seating area offered stunning views of the surrounding landscape, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a drink. As for the beers, they were nothing short of exceptional. Each brew had its own unique character and flavor profile, showcasing the craftsmanship and passion that goes into every batch. From refreshing lagers to bold ales, there was something to satisfy every palate. I particularly enjoyed the Ftelos IPA, which had a perfect balance of hoppy bitterness and citrusy notes. In addition to the great beer, the food menu was equally impressive. The dishes were delicious and beautifully presented, perfectly complementing the brewery’s offerings. Whether you're a beer enthusiast or just looking for a great place to unwind, Ftelos Brewery is a must-visit when in Santorini. The combination of excellent service, fantastic brews, and a beautiful setting makes it a top-notch destination. Highly recommended!

We tried this spot for lunch and arrived when it opened. It’s an impressive brewery and you can see their production facilities from the restaurant. We tried all the beers they had available (€28) and a gyro plate. Best fries ever! The beers are so unique- we loved them all. This place is awesome!

This would be a six if the music was something other than generic-mall-jazz. Great opportunity to elevate the experience with music that had a funky-foot-tapping beat to wash down the fabulous beers, atmosphere and food. Server Nikkos was incredible. He was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. We loved the flight of beers- my favorite is the beer/wine combo or the lemon/rosemary but the other gals loved the double IPA. We are from the Pacific NW (micro-brew Mecca) and were very impressed with the creativity of beer infusions in the beer and food. We also tried the burger, which was juicy and well accompanied with a mix of pickled onions, famous Santorini tomato jam and mango? Great facility with a modern feel and location including lots of parking. Will absolutely recommend to friends visiting the island in the future.

We started with a beer and food pairing (25€). The beers were wonderful and unique. The beer-wine, rosemary beer, and tomato beer were all so different from anything we’ve tried. The rosemary was my favorite and the double IPA was my partner’s favorite. Food was also incredible! The beetroot salad was to die for! And the pinza ftelos (prosciutto and mango) was super yummy. Highly recommend this place!

Ftelos is an awesome brewery. The beers were delicious and the tasting menu was very cool. I've never had a beamer tasting menu before. It was 6 beers served with 6 tapas. I definitely recommend it. The brewery itself is beautiful and our server, Nikos, was great! If you're on Santorini and you like beer, you should check them out.
