The Big Six: Open-air cinemas-Το Cine Manto στους 6 καλύτερους θερινούς κινηματογράφους [εικόνες]
Την τιμητική τους έχουν οι θερινοί κινηματογράφοι της Ελλάδας, αφού μετά από το Σινέ Παρί στην Πλάκα και το Σινέ Καμάρι της Σαντορίνης, ο βρετανικός Τύπος εκθειάζει και το Σινέ Μαντώ της Μυκόνου.......
Σειρά είχε η εφημερίδα Independent, που συμπεριέλαβε τον συγκεκριμένο κινηματογράφο στους έξι καλύτερους του είδους στον κόσμο, σημειώνοντας ότι όλοι οι επισκέπτες του νησιού πρέπει να περάσουν από εκεί.
Το βρετανικό δημοσίευμα εκθειάζει τον κήπο στον οποίο βρίσκεται το Σινέ Μαντώ, με τα μεσογειακά φυτά και τους κρίνους, ενώ γράφει τα καλύτερα για το κομψό- όπως το χαρακτηρίζει- εστιατόριο, που σερβίρει πρωινό, μπραντς και πολλά ακόμη κάτω από το θόλο που σχηματίζουν τα δέντρα.
Cine Manto, Mykonos
On the romantic Greek Island of Mykonos, Cine Manto is set in a botanical garden. Home to Mediterranean plants, lily-covered pools and a resident pelican named Petros, it is due to show films such as Captain Phillips and Gravity over the coming months. Between 10am and 2am, a stylish restaurant serves up breakfasts, barbecues, brunch and more, beneath a canopy of trees. A must for anyone visiting Chora, the largest town on this scenic Cycladic island.

The Big Six: Open-air cinemas
Cinema d'Été, Monaco
During summer months, the
wealthy, well-heeled principality of Monaco lays on a suitably swish
outdoor cinema on the Rock of Monaco – a 140-metre monolith, lapped by
the warm Mediterranean sea. Deck chairs and comfy padded seats are laid
out in neat lines before a huge screen, which is set dramatically
against the towering rockface and the Prince of Monaco's imposing
12th-century palace. This season, films range from big blockbuster hits,
such as The Amazing Spider-Man 2, to family flicks such as Malificent,
starring Angelina Jolie as the misunderstood villain from the children's
classic, Sleeping Beauty. Drinks and snacks are available from the
cinema's small alfresco cafe.
Cinema d'Été, Les Pecheurs, Monaco (00 377 93 25 86 80; cinema2monaco.com). Dates: June-September. Tickets: €11.
Sunset Cinema, US
Set up in 1994, the Sunsets
at Pier 60 Society is a not-for-profit organisation that aims to create

programme is an open-air cinema that shows year-round films every Friday
and Saturday on Pier 60. Over the coming months, highlights include
Eighties' classic The Goonies and recent hit, Dolphin Tale, much of
which was filmed in Clearwater and the neighbouring city of St Pete.
Rides, slides and a huge a playground offer diversions after the credits
roll.

Beach
club Amante opened two years ago in a cliff-side location overlooking
Ibiza's scenic Sol D'en Serra bay. This season it's adding to its
offering of Tuesday-morning yoga and delicious seafood dishes with a
programme of "Midnight Movies". With a backdrop of floodlit rocks,
guests can curl up on bean bags under the stars with a cocktail while
watching Penélope Cruz dazzle in Pedro Almodóvar's Volver and Cate
Blanchett deliver an Oscar-winning performance in Woody Allen's Blue
Jasmine.
