Greek restaurant Mykonos in Great Neck closes after 8 years

Mykonos, the modest but dependable Greek restaurant in the Village of Great Neck, has closed after eight years. Among the kitchen’s strengths was the excellent grilled calamari.

When it opened in 2009, Mykonos took over what had been Santorini My Love since 1997. That restaurant replaced Greek Island Taverna, which opened in 1994.

After 23 years, the walls of 37 Great Neck Rd. are probably impregnated with the aroma of extra-virgin olive oil and retsina. The store is for rent now. Corfu or Ithaca, anyone?
