Traditional pastry pies are another large chapter in Greek cuisine, where many different processes are followed, which give the pastry a wide variety of consistencies, sometimes thin translucent sheets, and sometimes more crumbly and richer.

With these pastries the local imagination has created a seemingly endless number of delicious combinations. Savoury pies with cheese, wild greens and herbs and meats, or sweet, with milk, rice, cinnamon or yogurt – the possibilities are inexhaustible and they can easily be enjoyed at the best Patmos pastry shops, all conveniently located within a few miles distance from Patmos Villa Sophia.
Each corner of Greece makes its own pies, either baked or pan-cooked and they are the essential accompaniment to the richly laid table and have pride of place in every local cuisine.
