Since 1926, Mike’s Bakery has been a cornerstone of life on Leros. Now in its fourth generation, the bakery continues to honor the island’s heritage by pairing pure, high-quality ingredients with the original recipes passed down by the family’s grandmother. While the heart of the operation remains in Platanos, the bakery proudly serves the island through two additional locations in Kamara and Lakki.

More than just a place to eat, Mike’s Bakery is defined by a philosophy of family, dedication, and the joy of sharing a century-old story with friends and newcomers alike. Whether it is the aroma of fresh bread drifting through the streets or a warm greeting at the counter, the bakery remains an essential part of the Leros experience.
