Cine Manto

An open-air cinema in the centre of Mykonos Town, Cine Manto helps keep alive a summer pastime that has been a favourite with Greeks since the 1960s - watching movies under the star-lit sky. You can also head to this garden at any time of the day - enjoy a coffee and walk around admiring the unique paintings and colourful sculptures during the daytime.

Watching a movie under the star-lit sky should be one of your top 10 places to visit in Mykonos. Once the sun sets, grab a table, order some tsipouro (local brandy) and grilled mezedes (meze), and sit back to watch old Hollywood classics while breathing in the aromas of jasmine and gardenia.
