Frequently Asked Questions

Q:What is traditional Mykonos food?

A: Mykonos cuisine features fresh seafood (the island is surrounded by fish!), kopanisti (spicy soft cheese unique to Mykonos), louza (cured pork), amygdalota (almond cookies), kremydopita (onion pie), and traditional meze like tzatziki, dolmades, and Greek salad. Fresh fish grilled simply with lemon and olive oil is staple. Octopus, calamari, and shellfish are excellent. The cuisine emphasizes simplicity - quality ingredients prepared without fuss. Vegetables, legumes, and olive oil feature heavily. It's Mediterranean diet perfection! Kopanisti and louza are specifically Mykonian - try them while there. The food reflects island traditions and seasonal availability.

Q:Where are the best restaurants in Mykonos?

A: For authentic Greek: Niko's Taverna and Kiki's Taverna (Agios Sostis beach - no electricity, cash only, amazing!). For upscale: Matsuhisa Mykonos, Interni, and Scorpios. For Little Venice views: Kastro's and Caprice. For seafood: Sea Satin Market and Tasos. For traditional atmosphere: M-Eating and To Maereio. Avoid obvious tourist traps around harbor. Look for places packed with Greeks! Prices range from €15-30 for tavernas to €50-150+ for upscale dining. Reservations essential for popular restaurants, especially dinner in summer. Many best places are outside Mykonos Town - rent transportation or join tours to reach them!

Q:What Greek wines should I try?

A: Must-try Greek varieties include: Assyrtiko (crisp, minerally white from Santorini - Greece's most famous wine), Moschofilero (aromatic white from Peloponnese), Malagousia (floral white), Agiorgitiko (smooth red), and Xinomavro (bold red). Mykonos itself produces limited wine but the Cyclades region (especially Santorini) produces excellent varietals. Many wine bars feature Greek wines from across the country. Expect to pay €25-40 per bottle in restaurants, €8-12 per glass. Greek wine quality has improved dramatically - it's much better than its old reputation! Tours introduce you to wines you'd never discover independently.

Q:Are food tours suitable for vegetarians?

A: Absolutely! Greek cuisine is naturally vegetarian-friendly with emphasis on vegetables, legumes, olive oil, and cheese. Classic vegetarian dishes include Greek salad (authentic version without lettuce!), spanakopita (spinach pie), dolmades (stuffed grape leaves), gigantes (giant beans), horta (greens), various cheese dishes, and countless meze options. Most food tours easily accommodate vegetarians with advance notice. Seafood-focused tours are less suitable. Vegan is more challenging but increasingly possible - olive oil replaces butter in much Greek cooking. Inform tour operators about preferences. You'll eat very well as a vegetarian in Greece!

Q:How much do food tours include?

A: Most food tours include enough tastings to equal a full meal or more! Expect 6-10 tastings across 3-5 venues over 3-4 hours. You'll try meze, main dishes, wine, desserts, and specialties. Tours priced €70-100 typically include substantial food and 3-4 wine tastings. Higher-end tours (€120-180) might include full multi-course meals at upscale restaurants. You should leave comfortably full! The quantity varies by tour style - some offer small samples, others generous portions. Food tours provide excellent value - you're paying for guided expertise, access to best places, and cultural education along with the food itself.

Q:When should I take a food tour?

A: Evening tours (6-10 PM) capture authentic Greek dining culture when tavernas come alive and locals eat. Greeks dine late - dinner typically starts 9-10 PM! However, afternoon tours (3-7 PM) work better for those wanting normal dining schedules. Morning tours can include market visits when produce is freshest. Book food tours early in your Mykonos visit - guides provide excellent restaurant recommendations for the rest of your stay! Any day works, but avoid Sundays when some venues might be closed. Summer season (June-September) offers most options. Food tours are weather-independent - perfect backup plans!

Q:What is meze?

A: Meze (or mezze) are small dishes served as appetizers or snacks, central to Greek dining culture! Classic examples include tzatziki (yogurt-cucumber dip), melitzanosalata (eggplant dip), taramosalata (fish roe dip), dolmades (stuffed grape leaves), saganaki (fried cheese), grilled octopus, olives, and fresh bread. Meze are meant for sharing - order many dishes and sample everything! It's social eating encouraging conversation and leisure. Perfect with ouzo or wine. Meze can be light snacks or, collectively, comprise a full meal. The variety lets you try many flavors. Greek dining often centers around meze rather than large individual entrées. It's wonderful tradition!
