Leather House

Be sure to make a stop at the Leather House. This shop has the finest quality of leather accessories, shoes, clutch bags, and handbags. They opened their first shop back in 1979 on Rhodes Island, and eventually got to open a store in the Old Town of Kos. Today, they continue to establish an undisputed reputation of authentic leather goods.

Shopping

Kos offers a proud heritage of traditional Greek products together with what you will normally find at popular tourist destinations. A stroll through the old town of Kos offers you everything from olive oil soap and a jar of locally produced honey to the latest game console for kids. Kos is also an exciting place to shop for jewellery, leather goods, perfumes and souvenirs — there are plenty of good deals to be found. The more traditional artwork and craft items are also widely available throughout the island. The supermarkets have an array of traditional products. However, if you are looking for a fresh local produce of fruits and vegetables, you can find it at the main square in town. The bakeries in Kos fill the morning air with an unmistakable aroma of freshly baked breads. They are definitely worth a visit as there are several delicious cookies and pastries available. The more fashionable shops and all big brands are located in the modern part of the island, where you will find the latest designer accessories. Many of the mountain villages offer lovely handmade ceramics as well as exquisite handwoven fabrics and embroideries. The village of Pili is known for its fantastic selection of top-notch cheese products. The ‘red cheese’ — a cheese baked in red wine — comes highly recommended.
