About this place
Gioras Bakery on Agiou Efthimiou in Mykonos Town carries a reputation its owners describe as the Parthenon of Greek wood-fired bakeries, and after visiting it is hard to argue with that framing. The place traces its history to 1420, and the family running it today are direct descendants of the people who started it.
Everything here comes out of a wood-fired oven, and you can smell it before you see the door. The goods are local in a way that most spots in Mykonos, a very tourist-oriented island, simply are not. It is a small, unpretentious stop where the product does the work rather than the decor or the setting.
This fits naturally into a morning on foot around Mykonos Town. It is not a place to linger over a table: you pick up what you want and move on with your day. It works for anyone who wants something genuinely local rather than another cafe aimed squarely at visitors passing through.
A solid stop for anyone curious about the real local food culture of Mykonos.

LocationA pleasant stop if you are already in Mykonos old town, but the crowds and the tourist pricing might need to be considered during peak seasons. Manage your expectations accordingly.

Religious SiteWorth a stop for almost anyone passing through Mykonos Town. The exterior alone earns five minutes of your afternoon, even if religious architecture is not usually your thing.
RecommendedSakis Grill House
