On the Greek island of Mykonos, a seafood restaurant named DK Oyster has come under fire from tourists for allegedly charging exorbitant prices for its dishes. Recent reviews on TripAdvisor reveal shocking experiences, with one disgruntled diner reporting a bill of €1,000 for just three dishes, including a whole fish for €350. Many visitors have echoed similar sentiments, warning others to be cautious when dining at this establishment, especially due to the lack of transparency regarding pricing. Patrons described being lured by offers of 'free' sunbeds and complimentary drinks. However, guests later found these items reflected on their bills, with prices exceeding what they expected or had been told. This unsettling pattern of overcharging at DK Oyster has been highlighted repeatedly over the years, with complaints dating back to 2019. Despite such negative reviews, DK Oyster's owner, Dimitrios Kalamaras, strongly refutes the claims and maintains that customers should inquire about prices beforehand. While high pricing is not illegal in Greece, the lack of clear price disclosure violates EU regulations. TripAdvisor has responded to the growing number of complaints by placing a safety alert on the restaurant's page, advising potential diners to do thorough research before visiting. This situation illustrates an ongoing issue with tourist traps in popular destinations and serves as a warning to future visitors about the possible pitfalls of dining in high-demand areas.
