Yalos Gastronomy by the Sea

Welcome to Yalos

Welcome to a place where Mediterranean cuisine is celebrated to the utmost, while relaxation meets the need for self-awareness and balance. We invite you to indulge in our delicious menu, take in the beauty of the landscape and be a part of our vibrant community, right on the picturesque beach of Exo Gialos.

Nestled on the black sand shores of Exo Gialos, where volcanic earth meets the endless blue of the Aegean, Yalos offers more than a destination, it offers a state of being. Just moments from Santorini’s airport, this serene haven invites you to step into a slower rhythm, where raw beauty, Cycladic elegance, and heartfelt hospitality converge.

Framed by the majestic mountain and the wind-kissed energy of the sea, Yalos exists in perfect harmony with nature and tradition. Our menu celebrates the island’s culinary heritage, offering authentic flavors and fresh, local ingredients. From family recipes to modern interpretations of Aegean cuisine, each dish captures the essence of Santorini.

At Yalos, connection is at the heart of everything we do. Beneath a starry sky, our legendary Yalove parties come alive with the energy of music and celebration. DJs from around the world bring rhythm to the night, inviting you to embrace the present moment and experience the profound connection between people, music, and nature.

Yalos is a space for creating memories, whether gathered around a table, dancing by the sea, or simply basking in the island’s volcanic energy. Rooted in sustainability and the warm embrace of the local community, Yalos offers more than a visit, it offers an awakening to the simple, profound joys of living in harmony with the world around you.

The Yalos Ambience

At the root of a mountain that has been artistically carved by the northern wind, everything comes together in a sublime, ecstatic way. The skin of the earth, the aspa —as the locals call the soil of Santorini that has been formed by ash, lava and pumice— tightly hugs the sleeping lava and transmits its energy to anyone who chooses to accept it. All you need to do is close your eyes for a while, put your feet on the black sand and feel the connection with the Earth itself.
