Warning holidaymakers: Usure prices on Mykonos shock tourists!

On the famous Greek island of Mykonos, reports on exorbitant prices in beach bars and restaurants are repeatedly circulating. Holidaymakers are increasingly complaining about opaque costs and presumed rip -off. As op-online , tourists can pay up to 100 euros for a single beer. A glass of Coca-Cola will also cost 35 euros.

The pricing seems not only arbitrary, but also disproportionate. A guest reported an invoice of 349 euros for a simple fish plate, while two glasses of Prosecco cost 136 euros. These excessive prices raise questions about transparency. Holidaymakers criticize that there are often a lack of clear menus, which leads to unpleasant surprises in the invoice.

rip off with system

The phenomenon is not new, and also the Kosmo reports from systematics behind these practices. Prices in said bar are up to 14 times higher than in other restaurants. A British tourist only received a supply for a liter of beer at 100 euros, which raises the fees for a simple drink. Above all, symptoms about unmistaked drinks, which were nevertheless calculated, are increasing on platforms such as Tripadvisor.

An incognito known journalist group of the Daily Mail paid over 100 euros last year for a small cancer snack, which only further fueled the allegations with regard to overpriced prices. However, the restaurant owner Dimitrios Kalamara rejected the allegations as distorted and denied the allegations. Nevertheless, the Greek Minister of Tourism Vassilis Kikilias took the matter seriously and initiated a review of the company, which finally led to tax violations.

reaction of the government and raids planned

Several restaurants have already been closed according to the first raids. Under the closed restaurants is the well-known Nusr-ET, where more than 20,000 euros were found, which could not be explained sufficiently by the restaurant manager.

In view of the current reporting and the official warning to Tripadvisor, many vacationers feel unsettled beyond the measure. It remains to be seen how effectively the measures of the Greek authorities will intervene in order to protect and regulate tourism on Mykonos.
