L'Aragosta Mykonos

L'Aragosta sits above the coastline, a fifteen-minute walk from the sands of Kalo Livadi Beach. The menu focuses on Italian and Mediterranean seafood, served in a room that runs smart and elegant.

Most visitors stick to the beach clubs directly on the water, but this hillside position is the better play. You lose the frantic energy of the sand for a vantage point that feels removed from the island's relentless midday bustle. It is a more deliberate choice than its seaside neighbours, trading the casual pulse of the shore for a pace that is better suited to a long, slow dinner.
