Furious tourists have given a shocking warning to fellow holidaymakers about a notorious Greek bar.

Brits planning their summer getaways in Greece this year are being alerted to the shocking tactics allegedly being used by an infamous venue to trick tourists.

Mykonos eatery DK Oyster has hit the headlines for reportedly charging its guests extortionate amounts for meals and drinks - so much so that Tripadvisor was forced to issue a warning on its website.

Now new reviews of the venue - posted online in April - have reinforced the message for visitors to the island to stay away.

One review which was posted on Tripadvisor said that a family had been charged 222 Euros (£190) for five drinks.

Shocking new reviews keep coming for the venue - including in April this year

It reads: “This place should be avoided at ALL costs! 

“They are located at Petinos beach, with black umbrellas and sunbeds. They are con artists and prey on unsuspecting tourists. 

"They supposedly offer you free sunbeds if you buy a drink at their place. Two beers and three juices later, they charged us 222 euros! Which also included a service charge, of 40+ euros!”

The review goes on to say that the eaterie is a “disgrace to the hard working people” of the Greek island and that despite efforts to remove bad reviews that “black umbrellas and grey sunbeds” will let visitors know its location.

Another fuming reviewer posted on the website that people should simply avoid the venue.

It reads: “This place is a complete rip off. Pricing is not clear and so you get hit with a bill you did not expect at the end. Definitely not a pleasant experience. 

“They don’t explain their pricing at all so you think you’re ordering something reasonable and then it’s super expensive in the end.” 

It added: “Avoid!”

Last year Tripadvisor put out a “safety warning” on its page for the restaurant following a string of complaints.

The warning reads: “Tripadvisor has been made aware of recent media reports or events concerning this property which may not be reflected in reviews found on this listing.

“Accordingly, you may wish to perform additional research for information about this property when making your travel plans.”

The restaurant has a rating of two out of five on the travel review website.
