British holidaymakers heading to Greece have been warned about a notorious Mykonos restaurant, DK Oyster, where diners have been charged exorbitant sums for simple meals. The Greek government has launched a probe into the establishment following multiple complaints from tourists, including a couple who were billed €800 (£710) for two cocktails, four crab legs and a salad.
Among those caught out were Canadian newlyweds Lindsay and Alex Breen, who visited the beach bar for a 'quick snack' and were pressured into ordering a dozen oysters. They were later taken to a back room to pay a bill of over €400 (£330). Another victim, Cheryl Lamphere, claimed her group was charged more than £1,300 for two dishes, salad and bread.
Londoner Jak Kypri said waiters did not offer him a menu, instead telling him what was available. He ordered two tequilas, two beers and shrimp, only to receive six prawns and a bill for £360. In 2019, a tourist was charged £521 for six pieces of calamari.
Tripadvisor issued a safety warning on the restaurant's page earlier this year after a string of complaints. Owner Dimitrios Kalamaras has not commented on the allegations. The investigation by Greek authorities is ongoing.
