The highly coveted Michelin Guide stars, shining over Athens and Santorini, have just been announced. Greece now boasts a total of 21 stars across the regions currently covered by the guide.
The prestigious Michelin stars for Greece have been announced. Beyond Athens, the famous guide’s inspectors have now also visited Santorini and Thessaloniki. In fact, this is ostensibly the reason why no announcements were made earlier in 2025; the guide’s anonymous inspectors needed to cover two additional regions, leading Michelin’s leadership to decide that the stars for Athens, Santorini, and Thessaloniki should all be unveiled at once.
But let’s get to the important details—specifically, which restaurants received these coveted stars this year—as significant changes and surprises have reshaped the country’s “star-studded” culinary landscape.
In the biggest surprise of the day, the country’s only two-Michelin-starred restaurant is now located in Santorini. Boasting the most beautiful balcony overlooking the Caldera—complete with its iconic armchairs—Lycabettus Restaurant (situated within Andronis Luxury Suites and led by Executive Chef Christos Karagiannis) has been awarded two Michelin stars. It now stands as the only two-starred restaurant in Greece, following the news that Delta—located at the SNFCC and helmed by Executive Chef George Papazacharias—was awarded one star by the “red guide” this year.
Beyond this, it literally “rained stars” across both Athens and Santorini. Greece now boasts 19 one-starred restaurants and one two-starred restaurant—a total of 21 stars across two of the three regions covered by the guide.
