Avli tou Thodori

A family-run Greek restaurant on the sand at Platis Gialos, open from breakfast to late dinner. Seafood, Mykonian specialities and children welcome — the dependable beach-day lunch.

Avli tou Thodori has been feeding Platis Gialos for years and remains the sort of place families come back to: tables on the beach, a menu of Greek classics and grilled fish, and staff used to sandy children. Sunbeds in front belong to the restaurant.

Platis Gialos is the hub of the sea-taxi network, so this also works as a base for a day of hopping to Paraga, Paradise and Super Paradise and coming back for dinner.
