Go shopping in the capital

In Skala you’ll find souvenir shops selling handmade ceramics, embroidered linens and leather goods. The soaps made with the local olive oil also make great take-home gifts. And for a bigger choice of shops, you can head to Argostoli, 45 minutes away. You’ll find most shops in the pedestrianised Lithostroto. But avoid the afternoons between 2pm and 5pm, when they close for siesta.
