Cine Manto: an evening alternative to the bar circuit

Tucked into the Meletopoulos garden, Cine Manto is a municipal open-air cinema, established according to municipal sources in 1995 — a genuinely used cultural venue, not simply a picturesque hidden garden.

The garden setting

  • The cinema occupies a garden space within Chora, offering a green, open-air setting distinct from the town’s stone lanes and waterfront.

How evenings work

  • Screenings run on a seasonal program; confirm current listings, ticket prices and start times before planning an evening around it.

Nearby dinner options

  • The surrounding streets offer tavernas suited to an early dinner before a screening.

Weather and accessibility

  • As an open-air venue, screenings depend on weather; check current operating status if conditions look uncertain.
  • Confirm seating and access arrangements directly if mobility is a concern.

Etiquette

  • Treat it as a working cinema — arrive on time and keep noise to a minimum during screenings, as you would at any film venue.

Practical information

Cine Manto’s seasonal film program is not published on a single stable public schedule this guide can cite reliably. Confirm current dates, tickets and start times directly with the venue or the Municipality of Mykonos’s cultural listings closer to your visit.
