AB Mart is on the coast road to Poros, between Hotel Paspalis and Regina Dell Acqua Resort.
Solomos on the main street sells a wide range of foodstuffs including all your home comforts at reasonable prices.
Galaxy also on the main street offers a deli counter (of sorts) with local cheeses and olives.
For the best fresh meat try the butcher in Travliata on the road to Argostoli.
Look for the red “Meatmarket” sign just after the airport turning heading north.
