Fruit of the Sea on Mykonos

Tuesday June 17, 2008

You'd expect the seafood to be fresh in a place like the island of Mykonos in Greece — and you'd be correct. Fantastically fresh fish, urchins and shellfish are abundant on this gem in the Mediterranean; it's no wonder there's an outpost of the world famous Nobu here.

The Santa Marina Resort & Villas' Marine Club Restaurant makes the most of the bounty of the sea, but there's plenty to savor elsewhere on the island. Seek out Edem, one of the island's oldest and most reputable restaurants. Its menu is all over the map, but the seafood and lamb dishes are consistently good. For a romantic setting, it's hard to beat Alefkandra in the "Little Venice" neighborhood of Mykonos town. The restaurant delivers a view of the beautiful Venetian-style homes whose balconies open over the sea instead of a canal.

Looking for just a quick bite? Alexis is one of many snack bars scattered around the island, but it's praised for its souvlaki and tasty burgers. For more specific restaurant advice and beyond, the Mykonos forum on Greeka.com is an excellent place to start.
