The pleasant cafe, located right by the Chora windmills, offers outdoor seating in the terrace and serves breakfast (the omelette enjoys a good reputation) as well as a large selection of local sweets and ice cream. Do not leave without trying the traditional "loukoumades" donuts with honey.
Cafés
Bakeries, coffee shops and cafes are all to be found on the relatively compact island (the likelihood of stumbling into one increases dramatically in Chora and Pera Gialos). Many beachfront establishments double as bars and cafes/restaurants, and often grant customers free access to sunbeds and umbrellas.
