A Special Place in the Sun



Jeff—Saturday

Whoever comes to Mykonos undoubtedly hears of the fabled unspoiled (so far) beach of Agios Sostis. Almost always mentioned in the same breath is its legendary Kiki’s Taverna, where even heads of state must wait in line for a table.  It’s been around since long before I came to Mykonos, founded by Kiki and her husband Vasilis.  Today it’s run by Vasilis—no relation except in his fervent dedication to maintaining the old ways—and the experience under his hand is just as special as it always was.

I was lucky enough to eat lunch there this week—Barbara’s been there three times since we arrived two weeks ago—and I was so busy enjoying the meal and company that I forgot to take any photos, except for the title photo at the top of the post, and this one of our hats enjoying the meal along with us.


And what’s a hat without a cat.


So, these photos of the beach and taverna are courtesy of Barbara’s earlier visits and the efforts of some anonymous others.  Nothing’s changed from what you see. Though there will be a mayoral election on Mykonos tomorrow….
