A wonderful find in Chora, Keranthos store specialises in local food and drink, selling everything from traditional Greek treats (fruit and vegetable preserves, jams, honey, and sweets - pastry and candy) to a selection of local wines and spirits.
Shopping
Although Astypalaia might not exactly fit the definition of a shopper's paradise, heading to the island's Chora is a safe bet when it comes to shopping opportunities. A good take-home local specialty is a bottle of traditional ouzo, raki, or regional wine along with deli items and olive-derived products (ranging from olive oil to organic cosmetics).
