The Voile Rouge of Mykonos, this stylish beach club is situated off a beautiful blue cove and acts as a beach and restaurant, serving food throughout the day until closing time at 21:00. This may seem early, however at approximately 18:00, Nammos transforms from a restrained and relaxed environment to the wildest destination on the island.

The most stylish inhabitants and visitors of the island come in hoards to enjoy Nammos, whether it be by yacht, Riva, quad or chauffeur this place is always packed.  The food here is spectacular with the largest selection of fresh seafood imaginable and the most delicious Greek specialties, however lunch is inevitably followed by shots of Mastic, an alcohol made from a derivative of a tree found in nearby Chios which is drunk after meals - and then the dancing, which elevates to the tops of the tables, followed by champagne spraying fights much like those in the early hours of the evening at Nikki Beach in Saint Tropez.

Nammos also boasts one if the most stylish destination boutiques on the island, stocking everything from Missoni to Christian Louboutin, and next to the boutique lies a beautiful Rodial spa and Hot Yoga Centre.

The words brandished over Interni's menu's say it all - 'Great Food is like Great Sex, the More you Have, the More you Want' - once you have eaten here you will want to return again and again!

This beautiful white washed restaurant is entered through a large white cavernous door, where you are met by a sweeping white staircase leading down to this contemporary Greek restaurant set in amongst hibiscus, olive and orange blossom trees.

The food at Interni is a fusion of Italian and Greek food, however unlike its competitors in Mykonos, the concept and food is refined and original, the menu consists of such delicacies as peach, champagne and prosciutto risotto and langoustines with minted cous cous and coconut cream jus.

In the centre of the restaurant lies a bar which becomes a hub for Mykonos's most stylish set, who sip mojitos and espresso martinis until the early hours. This really is the place to be.

Uno Con Carne

'The most famous steak house and oyster bar in Mykonos' - and it really does live up to this legend. 

Uno Con Carne is an Argentine steak house that reflects the cosmopolitan scope of Mykonos dining, with features such as an open air movie theatre and outlandish oversized chairs, all white washed with accents of electric colours, it makes for quite an experience.

The steak really is the best and the oysters are hand dived. This is a truley spectacular restaurant, and the bar much like Interni's is a go to destination in it's own right, serving up cuban cocktails and fresh mojitos of all varieties. 

SOLYMAR BEACH RESTAURANT
http://www.solymar.gr/ 

Solymar is on the opposite side of the island from Mykonos town and set just off Kalo Livadi with views of the crystal clear water and a very chilled out vibe.

Even in the first years of Solymar's operation it was THE beach to go to. Solymar combines Cycladean architecture with Mexican colours and the Greek Spirit for a perfect balance.

The food is fresh and locally sourced, the Feta, watermelon and tomato salad is a favourite and the line caught fish of the day is perfectly cooked and adorned with capers olives and zucchini. The Courgette flowers are stuffed with feta and fresh mint and the grilled crab legs are very popular.
