It’s my ‘go to’ every day. The service is impeccable and very friendly . I sit inside, where it is quiet, and gaze at the sea and hills. The prices are reasonable. They even keep a large mason jar for me for tea so I keep hydrated. And, their BLT’s are great! The best cafe!

Top quality coffee and drinks and delicious snacks! Lovable staff ( propably a family business). Located right on the shore and within walking distance from the port it is the prefect spot for all-day leisure. We visited it everyday during our vacation! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Tucked away in a charming corner of the island of Patmos, Meltemi is a hidden gem that shouldn't be missed. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make you feel right at home. The food is simply delicious, with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and creative flavor combinations. A must-visit for foodies!

One of the best places to relax on Patmos. It is the gap between the sea and the land.
