BAR PLAZA

Bar and caf

This 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

Bar and caf

This 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

Bar and caf

This 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.

THE PATMIANS

Bar and caf

The 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!
