Mykonos taverna slapped with 12 tax infringements following social media criticism

A taverna that had been shamed on social media for overcharging a party of tourists was visited by tax inspectors this week.

The officials found that the restaurant, located at Platis Gialos on Mykonos, was in violation of 12 tax rules.

The inspection came following a scathing review on TripAdvisor by an American tourist. The visitor, a Brooklyn-based soldier, posted a photograph of the receipt showing that his party had been charged 836.20 euros for a meal of salad, calamari and beer.

He wrote: “AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST! No pun intended.”
