Ano Mera is the second settlement of Mykonos, located 8 km away from the Chora of Mykonos. This settlement consists of several merged villages and, in the local dialect, its name stands for a “standalone residence next to a field”. Unique by nature, calm and relaxed, Ano Mera offers you a nice break from the hectic pace of the Chora and invites you to stroll towards its open, stone-paved square. Pick one of its cafes to enjoy your Greek coffee – traditionally prepared on coal fire- or one of its famous restaurants that serve exquisite meat (sausages, exceptional T-bone steaks, or the local “louza”). Don’t forget to visit the “kopanisti” workshop and taste its pungent cheese from goat milk straight at its source, as well as walk to the white monastery of Panagia Tourliani and learn its history.
