Mylotopi

Kos

LoginSave

Mylotopi's complex comprises a bar, cafe and restaurant that has been reconstructed on a former village site (with restored windmill, thus its name). This smart stone structure sprawls across various outdoor terraces, while the interior – true to its provenance – maintains cosy nooks. It's the perfect spot to enjoy anything from a coffee and cocktail to a snack or heavier meal.

Dishes tend towards modern, rather than traditional. Think burgers with fancy ash-coloured bread and fries served in little baskets.
