Don't let its size fool you. Run by sisters Zafiria and Nektaria since 2001, this little boutique set on the St. Levia Square is one of the island’s most curated boutique, bringing together handcrafted jewellery, exclusive Greek designers and selected international resortwear.

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

A small corner of Sicilian flavour in the heart of Patmos's Skala, Gelateria Marechiaro is run by Andrea, who transforms fresh ingredients into a changing selection of homemade gelato flavours each day. The scoops vary; there's a zesty lemon sorbet, rich chocolate stracciatella, and the ever-popular panna cotta.

A family-run, traditional Greek taverna which, unlike many of the restaurants in Patmos, remains open all year round. The menu is simple, featuring classic dishes such as feta-topped Greek salad, fresh fish, and aubergine salad, alongside local stamnagathi (a wild green chicory plant) and octopus topped with crunchy caramelised onions.
