STOA CAFE BAR
Read moreThis bar, located in an old medieval cellar with beautiful stone arches, is an institution for evenings in Chora. Tables invade the main square of the upper city in the late afternoon: people come here to drink the last frappé of the day or the first ouzo of the evening, at the time of the aperitif. Then, as the evening progresses, the tables fill up, the cocktails flow, the night falls and the bar pulses to the sounds of conversations between friends, against a backdrop of Greek or international music.
BAR PLAZA
Read moreThis terrace in Skala's main square is the café where people have always come to drink a frappé during the day or an aperitif in the evening. We watch people pass by, we talk about current events, we remake the world, we meet again from summer to summer and from day to day... It is one of the most important places of local sociability: in 2020, the Plaza café celebrated its 100th anniversary. We like to spend hours there, watching time pass. The service is still as adorable as ever, over the years. In short: it is a must for Patmos, in all simplicity.
HOUSTON
Read moreThis café on the main square of Skala is the oldest kafeneio in Patmos: opened at the end of the 19th century, it passed from hand to hand within the Karali family. Its name comes from the city of Texas where one of the owners, Andreas, emigrated in the 1930s. Since then, coffee has remained an essential meeting place on the island. The place has been taken over by the younger generation: it is always very pleasant to settle there to take a break or to have an aperitif and watch the world go by.
COFFEE ME
Read moreThis pleasant establishment located in a street parallel to the port is known for its love of coffee: here, caffeine and the different ways of making coffee are taken very seriously. It serves Mrs Rose blends, a roaster renowned throughout Greece. If you dream of a freddo espresso but are at the beach, don't worry! Coffee delivers coffee to me all over the island. On site, you can settle comfortably for breakfast, with a Viennese pastry or a Greek toast in the morning. Some snacks are also available.
POUGKI
Read moreThis friendly cocktail bar is located not far from Agia Lesvia square, in a small medieval alleyway that quickly fills up with all the trendy Patmos revelers once night falls. In high season, we recommend that you come for an aperitif in the early evening, if you want to enjoy a quiet little table. Otherwise, you'll be playing elbow-to-elbow, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the rest of the island! The cocktails are some of the best on Patmos (and also some of the most expensive): you'll never tire of discovering the bartender's menu.
THE PATMIANS
Read moreThe latest establishment on Skala's main square opened its doors for the 2021 season. The historic building has been beautifully renovated, with all the materials and volumes that make up the architectural beauty of the city. This café-bar is pleasant during the day, to drink coffee or have a good brunch, but one comes here especially in the evening to taste the cocktails that make the place famous. The team - younger than its neighbours at the Plaza or Petrino - sometimes struggles to respond quickly to customers, but there's no rush!
