Shopping tour in Kardamena can hardly be called an extravaganza - there are no large shopping centers and outlet stores in the city. However, most hotels have good stores and souvenir stores.
Speaking of souvenirs. In the historical part of Cardamena there are many small stores where you can buy ceramics, olive oil, olives, spices, cosmetics based on honey and olive oil, beautiful shells, fish skeletons and sea sponges.
Be sure to bring traditional sweets from Cardamena, and if you go on an excursion to the island of Nisyros, almond tincture "Surmada" and cinnamon stick syrup "Canelada".
But for leather and furs you will have to go to the capital. One of the best stores, judging by reviews about shopping on the island and in Kardamena, is Leather Point shopping center (8, Ioan. Thelogou Str., Old Town Kos). For jewelry it is better to go to the Lapis salon (5, Riga Fereou Str.).
