The store is easily recognisable by the design of its logo, featuring Jack Sparrow and a mermaid. Inside, the array of items includes clothing (including Thai and Indian pieces), jewellery (hand-made silver items deserve special mention), accessories, souvenirs, and other items of interest.
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).
