About us

Pap-illon — About us

In the heart of Gialos, right beside the blue steps of «Kalí Stráta», Pap-illon is Symi's only vintage coffee & sweets shop — a warm spot for coffee, brunch and handmade sweets, from morning until late.

Our story

Pap-illon was born out of our love for hospitality and pastry. In a space with genuine vintage character, we blend the traditional flavours of Symi with modern creations, made fresh with care every single day.

What you'll find

  • Coffee & drinks — espresso, freddo, handmade beverages and refreshing options.
  • Fresh sweets — freshly baked pastries, fluffy pancakes and our signature Ice Rolls.
  • Brunch & savoury — options for every hour of the day, made with fresh ingredients.

Fresh & local ingredients

We make as much as we can from scratch and source local products whenever possible, supporting our island community while keeping every flavour fresh and authentic.

Where to find us

You'll find us right next to the «Kalí Stráta» landmark (the blue steps) in Gialos, Symi. Drop by for a coffee or get in touch — we'd love to see you.
