Patmos Reviews -General

Patmos is a special island and its attarctions and style are unique. I have been going there for several years, but this year for the first time I felt that it was becoming slightly spoiled by tourism, which even seemed to make the Patmians in the shops ruder. I wish they could keep development and tourism to a sensible level and not spoil the
charm of the island. There are some very good places to eat if you know where to look, but the more expensive restaurants on the whole do not offer good value for the extra money. I recommend that you visit one of the old Sea Captains' houses, which has now been made into an interesting time capsule folk museum of bygone Hora life. It's called the House of Simantiris and was built in 1625 and is near Plateia Xanthou.
