DK Oyster bar in Mykonos has been criticised again over its prices.
The infamous beach club has become renown for its expensive menu, with some tourists left baffled (and out of pocket) after ordering from the beachfront eatery.
Earlier today (3 July), we told you how a pair of holidaymakers were left fuming after being allegedly charged £690 for just two drinks.

The tourists visited DK Oyster in Platys Gialos, Mykonos, and according to the review on TripAdvisor, were told they could use the beach beds for free, so long as they ordered something.
Sounds reasonable.
But what they weren't expecting was a bill of nearly £700 for just a couple of bevs.
The user wrote: "No problem...ordered 2 drinks which we afterwards saw were 51 euros (£43) each.
"If that wasn't crazy enough we returned to the states and had a $876 (£690) charge on our account. FOR 2 DRINKS!!!!!

"BEWARE and avoid this place!!"
It's not the first time this has happened.
In 2023, American tourist Amber Pace was with her friend Aubrey when they decided to try the food. However, they didn't expect to pay so much for it.
Amber told The Sun: "I just saw the price £17 (€20) for the fried calamari I got, and my friend got the king crab legs that said £28 (€32).

"Our server gave us a paper receipt that said £85 (€98) for fried calamari and £160 (€185) for king crab legs. We nearly lost it."
Amber alleged that the manager had dismissed their complaint and blamed them for not paying attention to the menu.
Over the last few years, TripAdvisor users have shared images of the menu online - and the prices are certainly on the high end.
For example, small cocktails are priced at €25 (£21), while a fresh orange juice would set you back €18 (£15) and a coffee is €15 (£12.70).

Last summer, the restaurant shared some images of their food menu to dispel any confusion.
While a caesar salad with jumbo shrimp will set you back €87.50 (£74), a club sandwich is €44.50 (£37) and a breakfast omelette would cost you almost €25 (£21).
Some of the prices for seafood are also per 100g, which has perhaps caused some confusion with diners.
Dimitrios Kalamaras, DK Oyster's manager, previously told The Sun: "Our sunbeds require minimum consumption, so we encourage all visitors to check the menus before placing their orders.

"I would like to note that our menus are displayed on blackboards near the entrance, showing the prices of our food and drinks to keep our guests informed."
He added: "In DK Oyster, we have advertised in the ways we consider suitable for our restaurant, and we will not succumb to the influencers who have been attracted to the beautiful island of Mykonos.
"We believe that the value of the offered experience is high and we have no intention to explain why we charge more than a supermarket or a traditional taverna, which can be quite wonderful but is surely a completely different concept than ours."
