Tourlos is a coastal settlement on Mykonos, best known as the location of the island’s new port. Close to Mykonos Town, it is a practical base for ferry travellers and visitors seeking restaurants in Tourlos without staying in the busiest part of the island’s main town.
Top Restaurants in Tourlos offer a starting point for exploring Greek and Cycladic cooking. Look for grilled fish, seafood meze, Greek salads and seasonal vegetable dishes. Mykonian specialities worth seeking out include kopanisti, a pungent, peppery cheese, and louza, cured pork served in thin slices, although availability varies by restaurant. When choosing a seafood restaurant in Tourlos, ask about the day’s catch, its origin and whether fish is priced by weight.
The harbour gives Tourlos a working waterfront atmosphere. Nearby Agios Stefanos beach offers an option for swimming, while Mykonos Town has narrow lanes, the waterfront district of Little Venice and the landmark windmills. These sights are outside Tourlos itself but are convenient additions to a stay in the area.
Check seasonal opening hours and book ahead during the summer peak. Allow extra time around ferry arrivals, and confirm transport arrangements if dining in Mykonos Town rather than near your accommodation.
