At the boatyard
The boatyard is in itself a unique experience for visitors and friends of Patmos. First of all, let’s make it clear that this is a fully operational facility for boat storage and repair, but more importantly, for the construction of wooden boats. One of the very few remaining in our country. It is the life’s work of two brilliant brothers, Sozos and Peros Kamitsis, whom you will have the opportunity to meet on site.
So simply visiting and touring such a vibrant setting would be a unique experience during your stay on the island. But that’s not the only thing that makes the boatyard special. What really captures visitors’ attention and interest is the unique dining spot the two brothers have created right in the heart of the boatyard, on top of an old wooden boat!
This is literally one of the most unique dining spots you’ll ever have the chance to visit, and that’s for two reasons: of course because of its location, but even more so because of the diverse mix of habitues you’ll have the chance to meet there. We’re truly talking about a colorful tapestry of diverse people who, in a magical way, manage to coexist harmoniously, giving Tarsana its unique character.
Traditional local captains, with foreign captains and shipyard workers or craftsmen, alongside artists and intellectuals, along with unsuspecting visitors next to pretentious figures, all in a dance often drowned out by the workers’ voices and the sounds of machinery. The finishing touch to this surreal scene is the dishes served here, both in terms of content and presentation. The fresh fish and goat from Levitha island are just a few of Tarsana’s specialties worth trying.
If this unique setting appeals to you, you’ll be happy to know that you can host any kind of event you wish here. The Kamitsis brothers are open to such challenges and are willing to work with you to find exactly what will satisfy you and meet your needs. Over the past few years, some of the most talked-about wedding receptions have been held here.
In any case, during your stay on Patmos, be sure to make at least one visit to this unique place!
