Gate-side tables near Terminal 1 security at JMK
Just past security in Terminal 1, Davinci sits in the main departures area and works as the last proper sit-down option before boarding at Mykonos Island National Airport. It’s airside, so you clear security first and then walk a couple of minutes to the front counter. Layout is simple: self-service ordering, counter pick-up, a few tables, and plenty of people grabbing takeaway before short island hops to Athens or Santorini.
Davinci runs through the main flight day, usually opening with the morning departures bank around 06:00 and staying open until the late-evening summer flights taper off. It leans hard into Italian-style café and pizza basics, with espresso, soft drinks, and quick bites that land in the €5–€15 range depending on portion and alcohol. Service is airport-fast: you order, pay, and they call your name or ticket number.
Food skews simple: slices of pizza, sandwiches, pastries, and standard bar snacks that work for a 40-minute turn between regional flights. Coffee and bottled water are the safest plays, with pastries a decent backup when the hot items have been sitting under the heat lamps. Expect typical airport pricing, with coffee usually a couple of euros higher than in town and alcohol marked up even more.
Seats fill quickly during July–August peaks when charter flights cluster around midday, so build in 10–15 extra minutes if you want to sit rather than hover by the counter. Grab your receipt, because staff occasionally double-check orders against it during the rush. If your gate is a bus gate, aim to arrive at Davinci right after you get your boarding pass scanned to avoid getting stuck in a long line and missing the first bus load.
