We have been going to the Mill Bar for a number of years, and have only just got round to writing a review. We were introduced to the Mill Bar and to Julie and Spiros through mutual friends who had been going to Alykanas for...years. During our stay this year, we spent a number of days and evenings at this beautiful location. It is a perfect oasis, in that the pool is wonderful by day, and a great sun trap, a great bar (if you like a challenge - ask about the Rainbow Cocktail Challenge - great fun!). it is just meters from the beach - so you can mix it up between the pool and the sea - which gives the best of both worlds.
We had a few breakfasts at the Mill, and whilst I enjoy my Greek food for the most part - at the start of the day, I prefer an English breakfast if I have one at all, and the Mill Bar serve once of the best.
In terms of evenings this year, we attended the George Michael tribute. I wouldn't say the chap was at his best, but nevertheless the food was lovely, the atmosphere was good and all in all it was a fabulous evening.
We went along to the Greek nigh on Friday - as has been a tradition for the last 10 years (originally with the lads, and more latterly with my lovely partner Liz) - We agreed that this year particularly was the best Greek Night we have ever been to at the Mill, or anywhere else for that matter. The atmosphere was incredible, the troupe/dancers we fab, the food was delicious, the carafes of wine were flowing, everyone participated - and the fire dancing and PLATE SMASHING was better than ever. We usually party on at the Mill after the Greek night has ended - but decided to turn in early this year.
On our second to last night we decided to go for a romantic evening meal upstairs at the Mill Bar - again, something of a tradition.
It is a very romantic setting with fabulous views and a modest but varied menu.
I had the Gambas Pil Pil, which I loved, followed be that evening's special - Lamb Shank - Oh my word! it was the nicest lamb shank i have ever eaten - whatever it had been marinaded in, and whatever was in the sauce was simply delicious. it came on a bed of veggies with rice and roast potatoes. as a bit of a carnivore, I asked for no veg (except potatoes, which don't count - right?) - it came as ordered, and the icing on the cake was that it came on a bed of silky smooth mash as well!
Underpinning all these experiences where the ever friendly and accommodating Mill Bar Team led by the lovely Julie, Spiros, Nikos and Pascali.
In Summary - the Mill bar is perfect in every way, whatever time of day you wish to experience it - great location, great hospitality and a fab time guaranteed. Don't miss The Mill.More
