About

Situated at the water’s edge near the historic windmill and the end of the Skiathos airport runway, Mylos Tavern offers a dining experience that perfectly balances natural beauty with one of the island's most famous spectacles. The restaurant is widely recognized for its "front-row" views of aircraft making their low-altitude approach into the airport, providing a dramatic backdrop for photography and plane-spotting enthusiasts. Despite the excitement of the nearby runway, the atmosphere remains surprisingly serene between flights, with tables set so close to the Aegean that guests can dine to the gentle sound of waves lapping against the shore.

The culinary focus is on authentic Greek flavors and fresh Mediterranean ingredients, delivered with a level of hospitality that feels both warm and deeply personal. As the day progresses, the taverna transitions from a bright, breezy lunch spot into a romantic evening destination, often accompanied by live music that enhances the coastal ambiance. Known for its fresh catch of the day, signature "Mylos Style" salads, and traditional homemade dips, the restaurant remains a favorite for those seeking a unique blend of rustic island charm and a one-of-a-kind vacation memory.

Eating here is an incredible experience! Anytime I’m back in Skiathos I make sure to have at least one dinner here. Food is amazing and location is wonderful: you literally eat on the sea, you could touch the water while enjoining typical Greek cuisine and fresh fish. Service is impeccable and people there are amazing. There is also live music which brings the overall experience at the top.

Great food and great view. It is definitely worth to book a table and be by the sea. We ordered the grilled sardines (good) and the saganaki shrimp (that was amazing!) with some bread, and the house wine. The portions are big, so great to share, specially if you would like to feed the friendly cat around the tables haha!

Great tavern for a light lunch snack. The Greek salad and Tzatziki are very good. The location. Is right next to an old windmill. During the day you can plain spot the arriving aircraft. This place is really close to the airport runway were lots of people get really close to the low flying arrivals.

Lovely place. You can dip your feet in the sea while you drink your tea. The planes come in really low next to you while you dine. The ladies that work there are lovely. We had egg and bacon baguettes and they were so good we revisited. The atmosphere was calm and a little walk up the road you can experience the airplanes leaving and get the blast.

One of the best restaurants we've been to whilst in Skiathos and probably the best garlic bread I've ever had. The greek food is gorgeous, the views across the harbour are beautiful and the staff treat you like friends. Thank you for two wonderful meals. We had to come back for some more garlic bread.

We waited a bit more than we expected and since we were very hungry we got a bit annoyed. And then the mountains of food came. We have ordered a salad, mixed grill for one person and a garlic bread. We thought that since it's just the two of us, it will probably be enough food. The salad by itself would be enough for 3-4 people. The mixed grill for one 1 person was so big that we thought they've made a mistake. The garlic bread was the size of a calzone pizza. Everything was super delicious. And considering the price we paid, this is the best price/value place you can eat in Skiathos

Right by the water's edge, great food and well priced. We were planning to try different restaurants, but will be returning here again. A lovely staff who genuinely care. Wonderful location ❤️

Over a few days tried the pastizzio and chicken stuffed with sun dried tomato and cheese. Both were excellent. Forgot to take a photo of the schnitzel, but it was delicious, served with potato, rice and some very nicely seasoned veg. One of my favourite meals I’ve had in Skiathos and the service was good on each visit. Love how you can watch the planes land whilst you dine. The cats roaming around the tables are cute and friendly.

10/10! Such a cozy place to have dinner by the sea. The food was incredible, their garlic bread was one of the best I’ve had, the fish was fresh and delicious! The staff were very nice, they gave us free shots. 😊 I made a reservation via dm on Instagram and they were quick to respond, so that’s another plus!
