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

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.

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.

A Patmos institution, Tzivaeri has long been a favourite with locals and returning visitors alike. Overlooking the harbour in Skala, this much-loved taverna serves authentic homemade Greek cooking, from freshly caught fish and grilled meats to classic meze made with excellent local ingredients. If you're lucky, owner Yiannis might even pick up his lute before the night is over.
