How much does it cost to eat in Mykonos?
Mykonos is one of the most expensive places to eat in Greece, but the gap between venues is huge. A gyros wrap in Chora costs a few euros, while dinner at a sea-view restaurant can cost ten times as much. The prices here come from Gotripzi (updated February 2026) and vary by season and venue. Shekel figures use about ₪3.5 to the euro.

Where is it expensive and where is it cheaper?
- Beach clubs: the most expensive. A sunbed, a drink and a simple dish soon add up to a large bill.
- Little Venice: you pay for the view and the sunset. The same coffee costs almost twice as much as in Chora's back streets.
- Chora's back streets: gyros and souvlaki at more reasonable prices, and places where locals eat.
- Supermarkets: the cheapest way to buy water, snacks and drinks for a day at the beach. Gotripzi advises buying water at the supermarket rather than at a beach club.
How much budget should you bring?
According to Gotripzi, a total daily budget per person, including accommodation, food and transport, is about $77 on a budget, about $335 mid-range and about $918 for luxury. It gives no separate figure for food, but going by the price list above:
- Budget: gyros for lunch, supermarket food and a simple dinner. You can manage on a few tens of euros a day.
- Mid-range: a coffee (€4.50), gyros for lunch (€7), a taverna beer (€8) and a restaurant dinner (from €40) add up to about €60 a day or more.
- Luxury: a beach club at lunchtime and a sea-view restaurant at night. The bill can reach hundreds of euros a day per person.
