Snack bar

Café-bar by the museum

Delos · Lions & Sacred Lake

The only food on the island: a small café-bar beside the museum, in the middle of the site, for a cold drink, a sandwich or an ice cream in the shade. Prices are high, it can be shut or sold out, and it is no substitute for the water you should bring from Mykonos.

Plates for sharing

Captain's

Mykonos Chora · Mykonos Old Port

A restaurant of plates for sharing on the old-port waterfront, a few steps from the Town Hall and the Delos pier: the easy choice for a long lunch after the midday boat back.

All-day Greek

Kadena

Mykonos Chora · Mykonos Old Port

An all-day Greek restaurant on the Gialos seafront, right by the pier, simple and traditional by its own description: breakfast before the first boat, or grilled fish once you are back.

Restaurant

Kazarma

Mykonos Chora · Mykonos Old Port

On the old-port quay of Akti Kampani, in a building that once belonged to Manto Mavrogenous, the Mykonian heroine of the War of Independence, and running for more than twenty years.

Bakery & pastry café

Gioras

Mykonos Chora · Mykonos Old Port

A bakery and pastry café a few minutes from the old port, open from early morning: the place to buy pies, bread and biscuits to take across, since there is next to nothing to eat on Delos.

On the menu

Delos dishes to try

Order these and the taverna owner will know you came prepared.

A pie for the crossing

Cheese pie, spinach pie or a koulouri ring from a Mykonos bakery: the easiest lunch to carry round a site with almost nowhere to buy food.

Frappé

Instant coffee shaken with ice, the drink of Greek summers since the 1950s, and the best thing to hold on a boat in July.

Grilled octopus

Hung in the sun, then charred over coals and dressed with oil and vinegar, the classic plate by the water when the boat brings you back to the old port.

Water

Not a dish, but the one thing you must pack: there is almost no shade on Delos and the café may run out. A litre and a half each, at least.
