Sometimes, it's funny to eat at Hippie Fish. Located on the beautiful southwest corner of the island, this seaside restaurant is a great place to just chill, hang-out, and enjoy some fine seafood. However, what's so funny is that, while you're eating a fish here, you just might find its friends swimming in the waters near you. That's how close this hotspot is to the Mediterranean sea. The saltiness that you taste? It might be from your order. But then again, it might be the ocean breeze blowing through your face as you enjoy your dinner!

The key to serving up excellent seafood is to make sure that it's fresh. Sure, a gourmet chef can make anything taste exquisite, but if the fish isn't fresh, the taste won't just be the same. It'll probably just be fine, but not one to make a fuss over. This is probably why Niko's Tavern constantly offers up fresh food. And mind you, this kind of food costs aren’t cheap in Mykonos! Most of what they serve here are fish caught just this morning, then cooked and grilled to perfection. Add in their unique ways of filleting, seasoning, and flavoring and you'll get why this place has gotten quite popular nowadays.
