IL GELATO

Mino’s colorful gelato shop has quietly become one of the favorite stops in The Village for both visitors and a loyal following of island residents. Each day, the gelato selection is handcrafted using real fruit and natural ingredients, keeping the flavors bright, fresh, and full of character.

You can order a single or double scoop in a cone or bowl, with flavors changing regularly depending on the day. Mango, banana, strawberry, lemon, lime, chocolate, watermelon — there’s usually a wide mix to choose from, making repeat visits part of the fun.

The hidden bonus here is the espresso. Fast, strong, and made with quality beans, it’s an easy coffee stop while wandering through the village lanes and shops.

Despite speaking little English, Mino is often found deep in conversation with a translation app in hand, happily explaining the Italian art of crafting gelato and how each flavor is made using fresh ingredients.

The pink-and-white storefront is tucked just off the main square, and if you don’t spot it right away, anyone will happily point you in the right direction.
