Platys Gialos

Platis Gialos is a lively village and resort anchored by its namesake beach, a sandy stretch in a sheltered bay lined with waterfront bars, tavernas, and seafood restaurants. Summer activities include yachting, windsurfing, and parasailing on the Aegean, and taxi-boats run to more secluded beaches along the south coast. Winding trails lead inland and uphill to rocky lookouts and quiet sunset-viewing spots.

Greek restaurant
Kastro's Restaurant is a charming Mediterranean spot located in the scenic area of Little Venice in Mykonos Town. It offers a laid-back atmosphere with a waterside terrace where guests can enjoy stunning sea views and delicious food. The restaurant is known for its vibrant nightlife, making it popular among people from all over the world who come to experience the lively bar scene and romantic sunsets.
Kastro Restaurant is absolutely worth visiting! The food was amazing – full of flavor and beautifully presented. There was a bit of a wait for the main dish, but it was definitely worth it once it arrived. Overall, a fantastic dining experience with great atmosphere and top-quality cuisine.

Even though we visited at late lunch hour, the place was full. We seated at the bar first but shifted to indoor table later. Everything was nice, and our favorite dish was a risotto. Every plate was presented nicely, the idea of playing with the color made each dish fun and exciting.

Kastros was hands down the best dining experience my wife and I had in all of Greece, across every island we visited. The view alone is worth the visit. Every dish we ordered was outstanding. We started with the moussaka sphere and a salad with goat cheese, both beautifully presented and full of flavor. For our mains, the slow-cooked beef lemonato and the orecchiette pasta were amazing. The atmosphere is relaxed yet refined, with attentive service and an unbeatable backdrop. This was without question our favorite restaurant of the trip, and one we’d recommend to anyone visiting Mykonos.

I have nothing but positives to say about this restaurant. This was more than a meal, this was an experience. We booked here to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and cannot fault this place. Fantastic service, amazing food (we had rack of lamb and sea bream, followed by baklava and lemon cream for dessert) supported by the best seats in the house to enjoy our meal by sunset. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Very nice restaurant. View of balcony is super. Go around sunset time. And be sure to make reservation couple days earlier. Food is good, wines are wide variety. Owner Alex is nice man. Smiley and talkative. He is also generous and hospitable.

We got lucky and had a balcony, an amazing experience. Note: cost included 2 glasses of wine each and appetizers. The food was fresh and tasty. Only issue with seating selection was too much sun…..

One of the best restaurant on Mykonos, we came 2 times during our trip. Absolutely blown away with taste and quality of ingredients. Never tried better linguine with sea food in my life! Top of the top!

We shared a roast vegetable salad, roasted salmon and charred vegetables. Each dish came with an inventive sauce and the combinations of flavors were indescribable good. One of the most delicious meals I've had anywhere. And the presentation was lovely. Service excellent. Champagne by the glass and a wonderful G&T. I've eaten in Michellan star restaurants that don't reach this level of yummy.

Restaurant
Avli Tou Thodori is a popular Greek restaurant situated on the beautiful Platys Gialos beach in Mykonos. It's a favorite spot for both locals and tourists, offering a menu filled with delicious Greek and Mediterranean dishes. The family-owned restaurant provides excellent service and a great atmosphere overlooking the beach. Visitors rave about the fresh grilled fish, lobster orzo, meze, and baklava.
I arrived around 4.30pm for an afternoon snack, despite prepping for their dinner service the staff were very kind and generous. The taramasalata and pita was delicious. I enjoy a beautiful glass of Chardonnay looking out over the ocean. The staff made me feel very comfortable whilst dining alone, ensuring I didn’t feel rushed out as the dinner reservations started to arrive. When I asked for the bill they served me complimentary desserts. I had a lovely afternoon and the staff were amazing

This is a true Greek restaurant with a wide and authentic menu. Many dishes are unique and not easy to find in other places, yet everything is very tasty — for example, the fried zucchini. The Greek salad and grilled fish deserve a special mention, both were excellent. The staff were polite, friendly, and attentive, even though the restaurant was quite busy. I was extremely satisfied and would be happy to come back. Highly recommend to anyone who appreciates authentic Greek cuisine.

Probably one the best restaurants in Mykonos! The food is delicious, service is always on point. We have been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. The setting is also very nice with a wonderful view on the beach. Will for sure be coming back next year! :)

My partner and I went here on the first day of our holiday (14th of September). The atmosphere was phenomenal as we were sat right next to the beach! Service was prompt and amazing. The food was sensational and the portion sizes are great! Definitely worth a visit if you’re coming to Mykonos. Thank you to our server Nikos who went above and beyond! We recently decided to visit Avli again (21st September) as we enjoyed it very much on our first night in Mykonos. As it was cold we opted to sit inside for our food, which turned out to be the biggest mistake we could make. The service was shocking with the waiters not even making eye contact with you while handing menus or speaking with you. The punch in the teeth came when I had asked if they use mozzarella for their pizza and the waiter replied in such a hasty and horrible tone, making me feel rather silly for asking a question to clarify which “cheese” they used. From the beginning the experience was soured by the lack of personable waiters. Nonetheless, we ordered our food and tried to enjoy the atmosphere instead. The atmosphere was nothing like the first night and was rather loud, and waiters were running around like headless chickens without any real purpose as there were still tables that hadn’t been clean since we arrived. The starters we had were tasty however, my partner received his before I did and we had to enquire where mine was. Here comes the kicker. We finished our starters and out comes our pizzas. As soon as the pizza was put on the table I knew that the pizza base had to be frozen. If a restaurant is charging upwards of €15 for a pizza, I’d hope that they’d at least make you aware that the base is frozen. Despite this I decided to try the pizza, which had raw and rather cold dough with hot toppings. Unfortunately my partners pizza was worse than mine so we had to send both back. The experience was soured completely. The only reason why the overall remains a 2 for all criteria is because of the first night we came. Otherwise it would have received a lower score. I am very disappointed in Avli as it was one of my favourite restaurants this holiday and I was really excited to visit it for one of the last days we are here for. It is also safe to say that I felt as if they were more personable and friendly to more middle-aged and older clientele. This is just the impression I received from two of the waiters who had very different attitudes towards other older tables, but expressed some distain to younger tables.

What a gem of a place !! The only restaurant on the beach that was reassuringly busy in early June. Had a whole Red Snapper cooked to perfection for €30 and on my second visit tried the Pork with chips and feta - don’t be put off by the picture as it was incredible. There were local Greeks dining here which is always a good sight. The owner (whose name I have forgotten - began with a T - sorry) was a big presence and extremely welcoming to me as a solo diner. Thank you very much for the complimentary glass of the Greek Sauvignon which was delicious and also the Greek spirit shot at the end of meal. Very kind. DON’T MISS THIS PLACE 🥇

We had the most amazing experience celebrating my husband's birthday at Avli Tou Thodori in Mykonos. From start to finish, everything was perfect — the atmosphere, the service, and especially the food. For starters, we had the fried anchovies and grilled octopus — both were absolutely incredible and full of flavor. For mains, we tried a variety of dishes and each one was outstanding: Souvlaki – truly the best in Mykonos! Risotto with mushrooms – rich, creamy, and perfectly cooked. Grilled calamari – top of the top, fresh and tender. Grilled chicken with cheese – unbelievable combination, so flavorful. Kleftiko – the best of the best, a must-try! On the end of the dinner restaurant surprised us with a lovely compliment — Greek doughnuts, which were warm, sweet, and the perfect final touch to an already perfect meal. A very special thank you to our wonderful waitress Alex, who took such great care of us and made the evening feel truly special. And big thanks to the chef for these unforgettable dishes! Highly recommended — we’ll absolutely be back!

Great food. Great service. I asked the owner/manager for the recipe of the muscles and he brought me to the kitchen to talk to the chef. They had no problem sharing the recipe. Great place to eat.

Restaurant
M-Eating in Mykonos town is a top-notch restaurant offering a modern twist on regional dishes in a relaxed setting. The attention to detail is evident in the tasteful decor and the flavors presented to diners. Inspired by Greek staples, the menu offers a delightful culinary adventure that can be enjoyed in the small garden or at front tables for some people-watching. The extensive collection of wines and spirits complements the meals perfectly.
Had a lovely dinner here with my boyfriend and it was the fanciest restaurant we ate at in Mykonos. My boyfriend has Celiac’s and the chef came out to our table to personally let us know his son also has it and they would do their best to avoid any cross contamination. The waitress also pointed out everything on the menu he could have or what could be modified. We enjoyed a delicious meal outside where we were able to people watch and enjoy the nice weather and the wait staff was very kind and timely with the food which I appreciated. Everything was scrumptious and I’d recommend checking this place out for a nice meal. We were able to make a reservation a day before. After the meal they gave us this delicious chocolate hazelnut candy that they make in house and don’t sell but I’d go back for that!!

During our five-night stay in Mykonos, we dined at M-eating Restaurant on two separate occasions—and both visits were memorable. The cuisine is of exceptional quality, thoughtfully prepared with evident attention to detail. While the prices were somewhat higher than anticipated, the overall experience justified the cost. Our first meal was enjoyed indoors, while on our second visit we opted for the outdoor patio. Each setting offered its own unique charm and atmosphere. The restaurant was bustling both nights, creating a lively yet welcoming ambiance, enhanced by the friendliness of fellow diners. Service was consistently excellent; the staff were courteous, attentive, and well-informed about the menu. M-eating is certainly a standout dining experience in Mykonos.

We had a fantastic evening! Great food, great wine and a beautiful setting! What more can one ask for..Thank you very much to Konstantina and her team for making it even more special with their thoughtful service. I would highly recommend M-Eating Restaurant!

So this was an otherworldly ride through culinary art. From the scallop appetizer, cheese trilogy, to the main course - both Nanzel and I had two different fish and both tasted amazing. It's very difficult to describe, you simply have to taste it and pair it with the Biblinos rose wine. I definitely recommend it

The M-eating restaurant here in Mykonos was just amazing! From the moment we sat down we could sense that we were in for a treat. My partner and I even fell in love with their choice of dishes on the table. But the food was all so wonderful. After we ordered everything that we wanted. Our waiter said “That is quite a lot of food, maybe save some for another day.” But my friend said we are only here just the one day and we so wanted to try as much as we can. In the end we did not finish everything we had ordered. But wow did she and I give it our best try. Given another day on the island we would choose you guys again. Thank you so much.

Nice Resturant with outdoor seating. Service was quick and friendly. Got the focaccia to start, which was warm and fluffy - but was missing the salt and rosemary usually found on focaccia. We ordered the steak which was cooked well, but we found that the smoky flavour overpowered the actual flavour of the steak. The fish fillet however, was very nice, and was accompanied with a lovely sauce.

The food is delicious, the staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is simply great, both in the terrace and in the courtyard inside. Highly recommended for a night out in Mykonos.

Greek restaurant
Karavaki Restaurant, named after the Greek word for "small boat," is a stunning dining spot located in the Chora with breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea and the charming Old Town. The expansive terrace offers a romantic ambiance and cozy setting where guests can indulge in traditional Greek and Mykonean recipes made with fresh local ingredients.
Our dining experience at Karavali was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a breathtaking view of the sunset over Mykonos town. Efi was amazing—her food recommendations were spot on, and she made sure our wine was always chilled, adding a perfect touch to our meal. Irene truly knew how to enhance our experience, as she seated us at the perfect table with an unforgettable view. To top it off, she surprised us with a thoughtful gift to celebrate our honeymoon, which made the evening even more special! The staff's attentiveness was commendable; they provided excellent service without being overbearing, allowing us to enjoy our dinner in a relaxed atmosphere. And the food? Absolutely spectacular! Each dish was a delightful celebration of Greek cuisine with a modern twist. We can’t recommend Karavali enough! If you're in Mykonos, this is a dining experience you won’t want to miss!

Karavaki offers a beautiful view and a great location for dining. The food was decent and well-presented, though it lacked that extra touch to make it truly memorable. A nice spot for the atmosphere, less so for a culinary standout.

Genuinely had the best meal of our lives here. We dined here last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The staff lead us to what I would call the best table with the best view. The service was so attentive and kind. The staff genuinely cared that we enjoyed our food and our time there. When we left they gave us a gift too. We don’t normally tip as we are from Australia, with the exceptional service, we definitely tipped here. If we were here longer we would come back again. And if we are ever back in Mykonos, this will be our first stop.

We stayed two nights at this amazing hotel. Perfection is the only word we can use to describe about this wonderful place full of friendly people and beautiful scenery, so relaxing… The manager of the sunset dinner restaurant- Irene, was the highlight of our stay. Her attentiveness to the customers and her genuine smiles made our first night! Love the food both breakfast and dinner. And just any staff you see, always a big smile from the pool to the bar and even the cleaning lady. Definitely worth the money and even more.

If I could give them 20 stars I will do it! I made a reservation for my birthday and everything was amazing. The food was delicious, the view with the sunset was breathtaking but the most amazing think was the service. Every single person at the restaurant was really nice to us and they make this experience something I will never forget. If you want to have a great meal with a great view with the best service in the world, you need to go to Karavaki.

We had an excellent meal here. The restaurant has an amazing view of Mykonos town especially at sunset. The Greek salad was one of the best I've had. The chicken Gyros were also excellent. A little on the pricey side but overall superb quality.
John Z — Google review
Perched above Mykonos, the restaurant overlooks the hotel infinity pool and a rather spectacular Aegean sunset. The tables are spread out over several levels. We were seated at the ‘sunset table’ and it did not disappoint. The Greek salad was the highlight. For a traditionalist I recommend it without the carob rusk. The lamb portion was generous and tasty. The ribeye was 8oz, unusual for a ribeye, but was okay. Eating gluten free at fine restaurants is proving to be harder than expected in Greece: carob rusk shows up everywhere.

Food here is “OK” If you’re looking for real quality sushi/seafood there are certainly way better options on the island. The sushi all tastes a bit like “Benihana” but 10x the price. The service is mediocre at best - sat most the dinner without them filling up the water. It was a a bit frustrating that when we arrived they still did not have the table set, so we stood around awkwardly. Mind you, it was 11pm on a Saturday, not that busy. The crab in curry is the best option on the menu. Drinks are great.

The look and feel of the bar was quite cool and the service was truly excellent. However, we found the food extremely overpriced for what it was, and the view from the bay is not as beautiful as from other spots on the island. Overall a solid experience, but we wouldn’t necessarily return.
