Aristaios

An absolute must-visit produce shop. Everything was super tasty - the home made stone-baked bread and the thyme honey were a real delight but there are so many delicious things at this shop. We've bought some products to take home too. We also had some ice cream and that was extremely delicious. Highly highly recommended

Whenever I visit a new place I like to check out stores that sell good quality local food & wine. In Kea I didn't find all that many shops with good selections except Aristaios that has a really big variety of goods and also sells some pies for takeout. I loved their bread and almonds! 👍😊 The service was professional and the prices ok for the quality of the goods.

When you visit Kea this family run shop is a must. So many great local foods, and fantastic bakery. Kiki was so friendly and helpful with advice. Can’t wait to come back.

Probably the largest variety in local produce and goods. Always helpful.

Best pies ever tried. Great products. Recommended 100%

While Kea is lovely in itself, Aristaios made it all the more so. Aristaios was our first stop on the island where we met the extraordinary Kiki and her family, who have created a shop that is not simply a place to gather delicious foods, but to gain insight on the products and the island. The family has its own olive trees and sells their delicate, flavorful olives along with cheeses, and spectacular homemade "pies" made with vegetables, cakes (the orange cake is a treat), galatopita (like bougatsa without a top crust), wonderful homemade bread made with a fragrant flour that yields a beautiful crumb as well as cheeses and wines, local cured meats, and and an array of surprises. Kiki has enormous patience and will explain the origin of the products. She even put aside our purchases for us to pick up later in the day, after hiking and visiting the places she had shown us on the map. All of her suggestions were perfect. Our villa was on a treacherous dirt road that made us inclined to dine at home on the terrace overlooking the sea. With Kiki's beautiful offerings, we enjoyed a private 5-star feast. As we have now returned home, I think of Kea and its magic made first by nature and second by the hard-working people who are proper stewards of the island's precious resources and heritage. For me, the highlight of our visit was finding Aristaios and enjoying the fruits of the land and meeting the inimitable Kiki.

A splendid shop with a great variety of excellent quality island products. The products are well packaged and attractive. The fresh products such as sweets or savory focaccias are the best on the island. You can also find carpets, wines, ice cream and objects. The owners are very helpful and willingly give useful information for your stay on the island. They also organize trips with electric bicycles or cooking and weaving workshops. A place not to be missed, nice owners

Went for the pies after reading the good reviews. Was disappointed with the variety and flavours/quality of the pies. The rest of the market offers a decent variety of local products but is quite expensive.
