Solymar Mykonos

Solymar sits on the sand at Kalo Livadi Beach, a short walk from the water’s edge. It is a Mediterranean seafood restaurant that holds a dressier register than the casual beach shacks nearby.

The room runs smart and elegant, but the location is the true reason to choose it over the crowded, louder stretches of Super Paradise or Elia Beach. While its neighbours lean into the high-octane frenzy of a typical Mykonos beach club, Solymar offers a more contained experience that feels deliberate rather than accidental. You pay for the proximity to the surf, but you get a table that remains anchored in place while the rest of the island’s shoreline is in constant, frantic motion. It is the best place to eat well when you want to avoid the exhaustion of the nearby party circuit.
