Most (and best) hotels on Patmos are found in Skala because they give views to the long beach and the main port of Patmos. We chose to stay in Skala to be close to the port when we arrived and left the island. Anyway, I like the view of the port at night when ships with big lights or small fishing boats are moored there. Something close to the beach was also preferable. The beach of Skala was quite long and very clean. Water was not too cold or too warm, it was the right amount. I was surprised when I went one day to swim very early in the morning (8 a.m.) and the sea was warm. They had told me that beaches are warmer in the morning but I didn't believe them, it is true! Many lovely taverns line Skala beach with delicious dishes (altough there were not any traditional menu, just the typical food you find in every island). No bars, no clubs.
