Meraki Mykonos

Meraki sits on a small rise overlooking the whitewashed lanes of Mykonos Town. Without a street address or a sign, the restaurant uses the hillside geography to define its place in the cluster of buildings above the harbor.

While the surrounding tavernas take the heavy foot traffic of the waterfront, Meraki prioritizes isolation. Most visitors to this part of the island seek the constant motion of the coast, but you come here to avoid it. It is quieter than the venues below, providing a static perspective on the Aegean that the busier thoroughfares cannot match. Choosing this spot is a rejection of the evening crush, trading the accessibility of the tourist tracks for a dinner that stays still.
