• How can I get to my hotel from the port?

Skala is the port of Patmos so, if your hotel of choice is there, you may need no means of transportation to reach your destination! Other than that, buses connecting the port with Chora, Grikos, and Kambos are available throughout the day, while taxis and rent-a-car amenities are also available in Skala.
Contact a car rental agency of your liking to help you out in finding the vehicle that suits you best! Also, some hotels offer private transfers to and from their premises.
