PAPAGIORGIS

Bread cakes chocolates ice cream

You can go there with your eyes closed! The establishment has been in existence since 1924, and three generations have succeeded one another at the helm of this ice-cream parlour that Corfiotes adore! Today, Daphné is carrying on the tradition of her predecessors. The creamy ice creams are made with local produce such as kumquat and wild strawberries. Everything is delicious, and you can also indulge in cream puffs and almond cakes. And if you love it, buy her kumquat liqueurs to prolong the trip at home.

TO LOUKOUMADAKI

Patisserie

A local favorite! In Lefkada, it's an institution. Here, the honey and cinnamon doughnuts known as "loukoumades" are the best on the island. You can also enjoy waffles and ice creams. The staff are smiling and friendly. We also tried chocolate waffles and chocolate and walnut doughnuts. Everything is perfect and the store is well worth a visit! In summer, the store closes very late. Ideal for a little treat before bedtime (or breakfast, if you're more sensible...).

Patisserie

For over 20 years, this pastry shop has been delighting the whole island of Zakynthos! Considered the best on the island, the patisserie offers an infinite choice of sweet treats.

Chocolate tart, walnut cake and honey doughnuts (loukoumades) are other specialties of the house. In short, anyone visiting the beautiful island of Zakynthos should stop here for a refreshing gourmet break!

SPATHIS

Bakery

Here is a bakery-pastry shop as we like them and which, it falls well, feeds the whole village! In the morning, their coffee will wake you up with good little cookies, puff pastries with milk cream(bougatsa), and all kinds of rolls. In the late afternoon or evening, come for a Greek sweet like kataifi (angel food with honey) or baklava (oriental cake with honey). You can also be tempted by their home-made ice creams which are delicious! We recommend the place with greed.

An ideal place for a breakfast or a late brunch. In the "juice bar", there are several fresh fruit (and vegetable) juices on offer - but you will also find all kinds of coffee to suit your taste, to get the day off to a good start. A delicious yoghurt is also available at an affordable price, with a choice of assortments. You can also go there later in the day to enjoy some Greek desserts and a glass of raki. The place remains quiet, although it comes alive in the evening when the regulars sit there.

CAFE KODEKAKIS

Patisserie

The establishment owes its fame to its specialty, the famous galaktoboureko (pastry filled with custard and soaked in a light syrup flavored with vanilla, cinnamon and lemon). The success of the recipe, which has been passed down from father to son, is due to the fresh milk of the local sheep and goats. You can also enjoy homemade ice cream and cakes. Recently renovated, the pastry shop is a meeting place for locals and all travelers who pass through the town of Kandanos. The detour will be well rewarded.

TOULIS

Bakery

Nikos Toulis arrived from Epirus in Crete in 1865 and worked as a baker. In 1923, the bakery moved to Smyrnis Street, the present Tsikirtzi Street, and it is at this address that it is still located today. Vassilis Toulis is currently perpetuating the long family tradition of ensuring the quality of the flour and oil, the only fat used to make the different kinds of bread, sweet or savoury petits fours, fruit tarts. Everything is baked in the wood-fired oven. An address that is worth a visit.

BAKERY SUGAR AND FLOWER

Bread cakes chocolates ice cream

Here's a lovely souvenir from Liapades, and indeed from Corfu, to be enjoyed without moderation. Located in the village and popular with the locals, this store will fill your stomach at almost any time with freshly prepared doughnuts for breakfast or a snack (to eat on the way to the beach, for example). Or prepare a picnic, as their spinach and feta pitas are excellent. The owners will always welcome you with a smile, and will sometimes offer an extra treat to your children (but shh, we didn't tell you!).

KIRKOR

Bakery

Established in 1922 by G. Hosefpian, an Armenian immigrant who met the same fate as the Greeks who came from Asia Minor after the Great Catastrophe, this small shop is part of the history of the city. Hosefpian, alias Kirkor, brought in his luggage the recipe for bougatsa, a puff pastry filled with fresh milk cream, eggs and semolina, and since then, from father to son, Herakleion has enjoyed this delicacy. Sweet or savoury, Kirkor's bougatsa is a delight. Mr. Vassilis will be pleased to prepare one with spinach or ham.

CAKE BOUTIQUE

Patisserie

This store with an industrial-pop decor is run by Angeliki Agathou and Evangelos Kyriazis. They owe their small fame to their macaroons, which are their specialty. Some would say that they are the best in Greece. In any case, the one made with sykomaida (fig paste), xinomyzithra and dried nombolo smoked ham won the prize for the best Greek macaroon in 2017 in an annual competition organized by the French Embassy! But try the other cakes, too. Their lemon pie, in particular, is a real "killer".
