Mykonos Food Scene – Restaurant Recommendations

If you are planning to travel to Mykonos then look no further as this post will help you with some of the best and unique restaurants in Mykonos on your travels.

Food has and would always be a major deciding factor while zeroing down on a travel destination. For many of us, there is no better way to experience a place than exploring various places to eat. While I cannot stop gushing about the quirky places to eat, there were a couple of them that stood out and are must try:

Kuzina: The beach facing restaurant in the Mykonos Ammos hotel is not only known for the beautiful Aegean Sea views but lip smacking food, especially the sushi (the sushi chef is a master at making yummy sushi). The ambiance is perfect for a romantic dinner date complete with Greek soft music, drinks, and friendly staff. If you are staying at the Ammos hotel, you can even go ahead and try their big breakfast spreads and lunch menus.

Sic, coffee bar: This brand-new coffee shop is located at the heart of the island called the town square. The café located amidst the white washed architecture is perfect to stop for a caffeine shot and small nibbles. The café, being newly constructed is a refreshing welcome for all of us wanting to take a break from walking around the town.

Sunset Bar: Always dreamt of sitting back with a glass of a cool cocktail and watching the sun go down in the horizon? Well, it need not be a dream anymore, because the Sunset bar, located in little Venice is perfect to sit back, relax with a refreshing drink and watch the sunset. You can also get a great view of the town itself, so all in all a great place to chill and unwind after a hard day. Just make sure, you get there in time to watch the sun set.

Veranda Bar: Again, a lovely bar in Little Venice, perfectly situated to watch the sunset and windmills. It is best to take the water edge seats to have good views of the windmill and sunset. Not to mention, their refreshing range of cocktails especially ‘the third windmill’ is a must try. If in doubt about the choice of cocktails, simply ask one of their friendly staff members to help you out.

Vinos: A cozy little place located in the heart of the Mykonos town is a great outdoor place to unwind for a drink and yummy food. They have an extensive selection of Greek wines that pair up wonderfully well with the freshly prepared foods like salads, cheese, and curated meats. If you are too confused about the wines, simply ask one of the ever so friendly staff members for a recommendation. So, sit back and have a guaranteed lovely evening.


D’Angelo Mykonos: There is always an Italian restaurant gem in every city and Mykonos is not an exception. The Italian style bistro is situated en route to the Windmills and is a pleasant outdoor restaurant. They have a wide range of authentic pizzas and pasta, with a wide array of options to satisfy even a vegetarian like me. The wine and food are clear winners here. This is one place we would not mind returning to.

While the list of places to eat are never ending and we need multiple trips to Mykonos to cover them all, but overall the island has surprised us with multiple options to choose from, thereby satisfying every mood and palate. But most importantly the ambience, pretty views, and friendliness of the staff added a cherry to the cake.

Mykonos Ammos Hotel Review

While the Greek mainland has always been an attraction, the beautiful island of Mykonos has become a recent tourist attraction. Mykonos, also called the Island of Winds, has some of the most beautiful Mediterranean white sand beaches and what’s even better is that I stayed at the luxurious Mykonos Ammos Hotel, perfectly located at the Ornos Beach overlooking the Aegean Sea.  Thereby, making it easily accessible to the happening nightspots, restaurants and clubs in the island.

This elegant hotel truly derives its aesthetics from the surroundings consisting of rocks, white sand, water and clear blue skies. The lovely white interiors of the hotel were soothing and relaxing just like it’s spacious pool facing suites or villas which one could choose from.

As soon as I entered the room, the gentle sea breeze greeted me with a smile (at least I had a big one!). The pretty white interiors made one feel at home immediately. What’s more is the ultra-comfortable bed which one can plonk themselves on and simply curl up like a baby.

The bathrooms were spacious and the aesthetically designed wash basin inspired from the beach rocks simply catches your amazement. After freshening up under the big rain shower, the pool was inviting you. One could jump right into the pool or even laze on the beach chairs sipping on chilled cocktails and nibbling on small bites.

Care for some big bites? Well, they have four restaurants at the hotel serving a variety food like Greek, Mediterranean, seafood and a lounge bar as well. But, the beach facing restaurant Kuzina is what deserves a special mention. Delicious food all day long and a fantastic view of the Aegean Sea makes it an experience to remember for life. The huge breakfast spread that starts at 8 am in the morning makes you spoilt for choice. It is also perfect for those slow romantic dinners or simple lounging.

Their beach services are also worth checking out; providing their guests the best sunbeds and a prompt service to pamper you. Too much sun tanning and water? Head to the spa, for some beauty and wellness treatments. You can choose from a wide variety of organic body spas, sauna, facials, massages etc. to cleanse away those blues.

Step outside the hotel and you can visit the tiny shops for some retail therapy or even window shop to gather all the pretty sights and sounds. The cherry on the cake is that at the end of the day you come back to this sugar cube hotel that is sweet and inviting. This is one hotel that I would recommend mainly for its contemporariness and luxury. So go ahead and book your Mykonos vacation now!

Tunic Dress– Your Easy Breezy Outfit for Summer Vacation

A beach is a perfect getaway for the summer. The sea, sand and the sun are just the things one needs. When it comes to a holiday wardrobe and getting out of your winter sweaters it’s time to slip into something light and comfortable. A breezy maxi, bikini, shorts or a slip-on dress in vibrant colours and patterns are all perfect for summer. A new trend on the block is the kurta dress or a tunic because having 2 outfits in one is always better, isn’t it?

Kurta and tunic styles are great for a beach look. They are easy to wear, flowy and come in all different types of prints and styles. Most kurta’s or tunics are made from light fabrics like cotton, linen or silk which makes them a perfect choice for summer.

You can pair a pastel coloured kurta with lace or happy print on a day out with the girls or a brunch, whereas you can go for an embroidered kurta for a date or dinner by the beach. There is a huge choice of different patterns, and an A-line kurta can be formal whereas a high-low piece is more contemporary and relaxed. You can even dress up or down your outfit with key accessories to create different looks.

In this look, I have featured a royal blue silk printed tunic dress from NoLogo. This tunic dress has a soft shaped collar which opens into a small v-neck with silver embroidered buttons. The dress is cut to flow freely over the body. The tunic also has contrasting embroidery which delicately decorates the hem.

NoLogo is a brand started by Tina Malhame who has journeyed far and wide from Italy to India and beyond during her career. She has worked alongside some talented and inspiring craftsmen and believes in keeping traditions and art alive by working with craftsmen who continue to use block print, embroidery and tie and dye techniques to weave magic into their looms. Each piece has a story to tell. All these handcrafted pieces are available to buy from all over the world from  Tina’s online store NoLoGo Chic. Tina designs clothes for real women by going beyond the traditional fashion.

I styled the royal blue silk kurta for a beach evening look with a handmade jute bag, a chunky boho necklace and brown ghungroo sandals. I wanted to keep my look simple and relaxed since I’m on a vacation. You can even pair this kurta with jeans, leggings or plazzo pants if you aren’t comfortable wearing it as a dress or want versatility from the same outfit.

It’s a beautiful garment of understated luxury and looks great even on its own. This is not just a summer wear outfit. You can also style these kurtas with leggings or leg warmers and boots in winter. They are a great addition to your wardrobe.
