The therino (open-air cinema) is an integral part of Greek culture – there are few better ways to kick off a summer evening than watching a film at Cinema Manto under the stars while sipping a gin and tonic (you can smoke too, as it’s outdoors). Set in a walled garden with towering palm trees, fragrant pines and cacti, the cinema shows films in original version with Greek
subtitles – this summer’s programme includes The Artist and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, plus the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics, direct from London. Manto also works as an all-day cafe (with free wi-fi), offering a welcome escape from Mykonos’ busy waterside bars.
