#3 – Mpalothies Restaurant in Ornos Is a Must-Visit When You Travel Here
We recommend requesting a private driver to take you to Ornos to dine in Mpalothies restaurant if one of the luxury villas in Mykonos or the hotel you are staying at is closer to the main town – Chora. This eatery is a bit further from the main attractions on the island. Still, the variety of dishes, large portions, and acceptable prices make it a must-visit.
They serve Cretan appetizers, raki, and fantastic salads. We recommend trying their seafood, such as grilled sardines and seasonal fresh fish that can be grilled or fried. Also, their kalitsounia, a Cretan delicacy, is a great option for a dessert while listening to traditional Cretan and rebetiko melodies.
