NextImg:Greece’s notorious rip-off restaurant strikes again: Tourist charged $770 for shrimp and a drink

My big fat Greek restaurant bill.

After famously charging a Montana couple nearly $900 for a few aperitifs, Greece’s most infamous restaurant, DK Oyster, is being blamed for yet another act of epicurean extortion.

This time, aggrieved Italian tourists have accused the Myokonos-based eatery of sticking them with a $773 (€711) bill for a cocktail, three glasses of orange juice and a light bite.

They aired their grievances in Tripadvisor review that’s currently blowing up online.

“They are the biggest cheaters and thieves of Mykonos,” the allegedly hornswoggled diners fumed of he purported fleecing.

According to the takedown, the diners had been enticed to stop by DK Oyster after staffers invited them to sit there for free, only to be flabbergasted after they were served up an extra big bowl of scam chowder.

The incensed eaters claimed that 3 orange juices, one Aperol Spritz, and “a medium portion of squids and shrimps” clocked in at a wallet-sapping €711.41 ($1200).

They claimed that they didn’t know the prices beforehand as employees offered it sans “explaining the details.”

To add insult to financial injury, the receipt stated that the price tag included “free umbrellas and sunbeds.”

 “They transformed our experience in a horrible one,” declared the deceived diners, who claimed they would’ve called the police but needed to get back to their ship.

The reviewers wrote that DK Oyster “should be closed” as they “damage the image of Mykonos.”

“Never stop there, there’s other much, much cheaper options,” they warned.

This isn’t the first time a patron has been culinary catfished by the Greek eatery.

Nearly every day DK Oyster survivors flood their Tripadvisor page — where it boasts a paltry 2 stars accumulated over 1,865 reviews — with horror stories of alleged rip-offs.

In a high profile case last August, a US couple made headlines after they were allegedly charged $510 for a dozen oysters and four drinks.

This came less than a week after Canadian honeymooners claimed that the seafood depot had slapped them with a $570 tab for a “quick snack.”

Meanwhile, this past February, Montana couple Jessica Yarnall, 31, and Adam Hagaun, 30, claimed they were billed nearly $900 for light bites and drinks during a trip to the tourist trap last year.

However, the owner of DK Oyster, Dimitrios Kalamaras, didn’t take these complaints lying down.

He dubbed his aforementioned canuck critics influencers who were trying to score a free meal.
