In the village center there are just a few shops, a minimarket with all the essentials food and personal car items, a vegetables and fruit shop, the fish market at the harbour in the early morning when the fishermen came back with their chatch and a great bakery where you can buy sweets, chocolate, cheesepita and spanakopita for your quick lunch.
If you need more you can drive toward Kardamily and there are two big supermarket with all you can need for your stay.

Helpfulness
Sick of buying tomatoes that look ripe and are hard inside? Greek will bring your taste buds back to life as along the road there are numerous farmers who have set up a roadside stand to offer what they have picked that morning.
Totally awesome are those purple onions, and favorful garlic hanging together. Melons, and Squash during the season are actually ripe....and the tomatoes are to die for. This is what tomatoes are supposed to taste like. They also sell honey and wine all produced locally. Don't forget to ask about their olive oil, too.
see photos taken near Mykines along highway road.
What to buy: Described above
What to pay: 6 euros for a long string of onions, same for garlic
11 euros for a 3 liter can of oil
5 euros for a huge bag of oranges
