L'Aragosta Mykonos

L'Aragosta sits above the coastline of Kalafati, a fifteen-minute walk from the sands of Kalo Livadi Beach. It is a Mediterranean and Italian seafood spot that trades the congestion of the island’s main villages for a quieter vantage point over the Aegean.

The room runs smart and elegant, but the real draw is the relative isolation of this corner of the island. While the restaurants in the town centre compete with the noise of passing crowds, L'Aragosta uses its distance from the main beaches to set a slower pace. It is the better choice for those who find the constant bustle of Elia or Agia Anna draining, as the setting here demands a focus on the plate rather than the spectacle of the neighbouring tables.
