Gastronomic Delights
Cordial, open minded and forward thinking, Mykonos showcas-
es the latest in fashion, music, and gastronomy. After all, the
later, the art and science of fine eating and drinking, is argu-
ably the most delightful of the holiday’s delights.
The Aegean’s grand dame and aesthetes destination of
choice features a plethora of amazing, world class restau-
rants and bars with designer settings, Michelin starred
chefs and inspired mixologists.
Boasting a distinctly Epicurean philosophy, Semeli Ηotel
sits deservedly among the best of such establishments.
Authenticity, balance – and a dash of audacity; extensive
knowledge and respect of the local gastronomic legacy
and products; an eye on the future and great passion for
good food and drink, best shared with friends. These are
Semeli’s principles and they are aptly manifested in its
offerings.
An Emperor’s breakfast
“Eat breakfast like an Emperor”, the old adage goes. And
this is exactly what happens at Semeli. In fact breakfast is
one of the hotel’s trademarks. Μuch praised by its satisfied
partakers it is moreover in effect a very good reason for
which many choose –and return to– this hotel.
Popi and Katerina have been preparing breakfast at Se-
meli every day for the past 15 years. “It is the most im-
portant meal of the day as it provides you with the energy
you need for an active day ahead. Surely now that you’re
in Mykonos, you’re gonna need a lot more of this energy”,
they stress.
Among the delights are the delicious, handmade pies:
cheese pie, pie with leeks and spinach or pie made with
“tyrovolia”, a traditional Mykonian cheese. That’s not to
mention the fresh local eggs cooked in a variety of ways,
the Mykonian honey and milk pie (based on grandmother
Eugenia’s recipe), the freshly squeezed juices, seasonal
fruits and three different kinds of cakes, homemade bread-
sticks and hot fresh bread, local marmalades and numer-
ous other treats.
