At the end of the movie "The Bourne Identity", Matt Damon finds his girlfriend has opened a cafe close to a beach in Mykonos. We have friends who ate at a restaurant on the beach just steps away from this location. Does anyone know the name of the restaurant? My friends said the food was excellent but can't remember the name.

I have to admit, I cheated a bit, Google is wonderful, but I can put the answer in context as well, since I have been to Mykonos. According to: www.movie-locations.com/movies/b/bourneid_1.html - 14k the closing scene was indeed shot in Mykonos, specifically at the "Sea Satin Market" right in Mykonos Town. The area is referred to as "Little Venice" since the sea comes right up to the buildings and the market referenced is supposed to be near the windmills located on a spit of land poking out from the harbor. From the main Harbor, this area is South along the coast forming a separate area from the harbor and town center. Now this area has scads of restaurants, and like any tourist area, probably change names and owners with the seasons. However, a second search shows this review indicating that the market itself has a restaurant: http://www.frommers.com/destinations/mykonos/D45731.html Perhaps this is it, perhaps the next restaurant over, perhaps sitting, looking over the sea with a bottle of wine, all food tastes good.

I was in Mykonos a few weeks ago. The restaurant is called Zorbas. It and a closed fish market are just below the four windmills.
