General: Visit Patmos for sure

We went to Patmos by boat from Piraeus and it took us too many hours to arrive. However, we found a nice island worth the fatigue. All beaches were very nice and the good thing is that they were never very crowded. The monastery and the cave of Agios Ioannis were very interesting, not only for the Greeks or the Orthodox people but also for foreigners. The restaurants were nice, especially in Sk...

General: Patmos is a special island

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 pla...

General: Patmos is not your typical tourist destination

Patmos is a very special place. It is mystical. It's historical and religious past are present in everything on the island. The village of Chora is very special because of the cave of the Apocalypse and the monastery of St. John. The layout of the town is unique as it was built around the monastery. Skala, the port of Patmos, is very quaint. Since my last visit it has been getting larger cruise...

General: Patmos a good suggestion

After flying to Greece from Italy, I took the boat to Patmos. Some friends suggested it was a very nice island with nice beaches and some nightlife, but without the noise and excess of other islands with drunk people everywhere. And indeed, that's how it was! What impressed me most was that the people I met on the island were at least 30 years old or more -there were no kids! The island was bea...

General: Reasonably priced and lots of fun

I had heard some very good words about Patmos in Greece so I decided to take my daughter and go to see by myself.
We took the boat from the port of Piraeus, in Athens, and arrived in the small island of the Dodecanese. I loved it at once. The small port was adorable and had a charming settlement built around it. We found a room in the capital of the island, the lovely village called Hora...
