Shopping
The nearest (and biggest) commercial centre on the island is the port of Patitiri ten minutes drive away. Here you’ll find the bank, post office, pharmacy, several rent a car/bike/boat places, 3 supermarkets, a baker’s shop (which claims to be open 24/7) a fantastic butchers, a fishmonger, a couple of fruit and veg shops and a couple of take away gyros (kebab) shops. Opening hours are 8am – 2pm and 5pm to 10pm every day during high season.
As there is no central market, the butchers, fishmongers, bakers and fruit & veg shops not only supply the domestic consumer but also all the restaurants on the island. For this reason, it’s a good idea to try to avoid their immediate opening hours as this is when they concentrate on the wholesale bulk orders for other trade and you could be waiting a while. Particularly in the butchers, if you can’t see what you want, ASK for it – because they usually have what you’re looking for but tucked away in a cold room.
Health Issues
There is no hospital on the island but there is a medical centre opposite the police and fire stations in Patitiri and this is open 24 hours.
