Patmos' sweetest little secret. Tucked away behind Toxotis, Daphne's is a tiny pastry shop where everything is made in small batches using exceptional ingredients. Beautifully crafted pastries, delicate cakes and seasonal sweets fill the counter, making it the perfect stop for an afternoon treat – or two.

Greek cuisine isn't usually the first thing that comes to mind when you think of plant-based dining. Pernera changes that. Inspired by the Blue Zones and the Mediterranean diet, the café serves vibrant vegan takes on local classics, from juicy mushroom kebabs to comforting moussaka. Expect fair-trade coffee, organic ingredients, homemade desserts and a rotating menu of seasonal specials.

A morning in Patmos begins with a foamy-topped frappé at Petrino, the island's central coffee house. It's where locals gather to catch up on the morning's bustle, making it the perfect spot for people-watching before setting off to explore the day's adventures.

Part gallery, part gift shop, Spiro champions independent Greek makers with a beautifully edited collection of ceramics, jewellery and everyday objects.
