Philotimo

Philotimo occupies a west-facing terrace at Evangelistraki above the road into Mykonos Town, with open sunset views and none of Little Venice's shoulder-to-shoulder lanes. Tables draw couples and small groups for beans, grilled vegetables, kebabs and shrimp saganaki.

Our take

Sunset without the Chora crush

Philotimo occupies a west-facing terrace at Evangelistraki above the road into Mykonos Town, with open sunset views and none of Little Venice's shoulder-to-shoulder lanes. Tables draw couples and small groups for beans, grilled vegetables, kebabs and shrimp saganaki.

The menu follows a direct Greek taverna format and prices sit below the island's headline sunset venues. Reserve the outer rail, arrange transport because the walk beside traffic is awkward after dark and arrive before the sun drops; recent local recommendations single out the beans and measured service.

What visitors say

Current local recommendations and the restaurant's published testimonials repeatedly praise beans, shrimp saganaki, sunset tables and prices below many view-led Mykonos venues.

Mykonos Without the Caricature

Keep the good energy, then add sacred Delos, northern wind, working farms and an inland village to understand what the island is beyond its nightlife.
