How a beach on Agrari has redefined the pace of summer in Mykonos 

Introduced in 2025 and quickly gaining a following among those who favour discretion over display, Almiriki Beach & Taverna has emerged as one of the most quietly compelling places to spend a day in Mykonos. Set on Agrari Beach, one of the island’s least developed stretches of coastline, it reflects an approach to summer living inspired by the Mykonos of the 1970s, when simplicity, sociability and respect for landscape defined the island long before it became a global destination. 

That sensibility is felt immediately upon arrival. The beach itself establishes the rhythm of the day: open, uncrowded and largely untouched, with calm waters and natural shade provided by tamarisk trees. Mornings here begin with swimming rather than spectacle, followed by long hours on the sand where time is shaped by light, conversation and the unhurried pace of the sea. 

As the day progresses, the focus shifts naturally from the shoreline to the table. Almiriki Taverna serves as the informal centre of the experience, offering Greek cuisine that is direct, seasonal and grounded in tradition. Ingredients are sourced locally, including from the Myconian family’s own farm, and dishes are designed to be shared. Lunch is not treated as an interlude, but as an extension of beach life, unfolding slowly and often stretching well into the afternoon. 

From the taverna, the rhythm eases into a more social register. The Almiriki Pool Bar provides a relaxed transition between dining and the rest of the day, with considered cocktails, unobtrusive music and open views across the bay. It is a space defined by atmosphere rather than attention, encouraging conversation and observation without interrupting the sense of ease established earlier. 

For those inclined toward quieter moments, the experience continues away from the beach. Set within garden surroundings, the Almiriki Wellness Cabanas offer open-air treatments informed by natural elements of the Aegean and classical Greek wellness practices. The approach is intentionally understated, complementing the day’s rhythm rather than competing with it. 

As afternoon gives way to evening, Almiriki shifts once more. The beach begins to empty, the light softens, and the taverna returns to focus. Dinner is served outdoors, without theatrical framing, allowing the setting, sea, sky and stillness, to define the moment. It is at this hour that Agrari’s defining quality becomes most apparent: a sense of calm that remains increasingly rare on the island. 

This same seclusion has also positioned Almiriki as a discreet setting for premium private events. Removed from Mykonos’ main circuits and characterised by privacy and an unspoiled natural backdrop, the venue lends itself to carefully curated gatherings that prioritise atmosphere and location over visibility. 

Conceived by the Myconian Collection, Almiriki is neither a revival nor a reaction to Mykonos’ evolution. Instead, it represents continuity, a way of spending a day that values attentiveness over acceleration, and experience over display. For those seeking a more measured encounter with the island, Almiriki offers a compelling and quietly confident alternative.
