Patmos Reviews -General

Patmos has a unique appeal. It is known as the centre of pilgrimage for Orthodox Christians and many of my friends considered it as a spiritual island. The beautiful landscape instantly entices the senses. There is a fine harmony between beauty and spirituality on Patmos. We stayed at a small hotel in the port. The houses have traditional Aegean style and small gardens around with so many flowers. I love how the Greeks take care of their gardens!!

As we roamed about the narrow alleys, we came across plenty of interesting gift shops and spots with gorgeous views in Chora. The locals are very friendly and greeted us with a smile everytime we asked for help. They don't speak English well but it seems that so many years of tourism have worked for their affluence.

We visited the Monastery of Saint John and liked the entire structure with the white and grey walls. A little far away from there, we stopped to see the Cave of the Revelation, where people say that Saint John inspired by God wrote the Book of Revelation.

The beaches of Patmos were warm and clean. The beach of Skala is the busiest and I would also recommend you Grikos beach for more calm. Food is great everywhere.
