    We visited this monestary on a cruise ship tour so it got crowded with multiple overlapping tours. Definitely worth a visit to see the inside of the monastery and to browse through the historic (old) exhibits and icons of the adjoining museum. Photography is not allowed inside the monastery or museum.

    The Cave of the Apocalypse is an important Christian site and is worth visiting. It is a special place and has a serene nature. It is a popular place to see.

    Chora is the ancient hill top village built around the Monastery of St John. Narrow cobbled streets lead between old houses, many now restored holiday homes. Views appear randomly but each is spectacular over the hillside, windmills and sea.
    There are cafes and small shops. Parking is just below the village. Taxi from the port at Skala is inexpensive and can take in a stop at the Cave of the Apocalypse.

    I enjoyed walking around the isle of Patmos with a knowledgeable guide - Tony. There is much to see from Christian buildings and artwork, village side streets, shipyards, beaches and natural beauty to clear air and water. It’s a photographer’s dream with lots of material to work with.

    One of the best beaches on the island. Family owned and operated tavern. The trail to reach the beach is not for everyone but it’s definitely worth its

    Wow, what a slice of heaven in such a chilled place like Patmos! This secluded beach (sun lounges, drinks, food at the nearby restaurant etc) is superbly run by Andreas, with his hospitable nature unsurpassed. The beach is crystal clear, safe, sandy, and above all relaxing. On our day there, there were locals, returning holidayers and the odd groups of visitors discovering or renewing acquaintances with the hidden gem known as Agrio Livadi Beach. Do yourself a favour, get there to escape life’s stresses……..

    These windmills are prominent on Patmos. The architecture is simple and they are solid and well maintained. They are easily accessible and provide a great photo stop. The backdrop is stunning, particularly with clear blue skies.

    Nice beach under village of Kambos. One can have a bus from Skala to visit.
    Organised beach with umbrellas, sunbeds, changing cabin, shower, water sports, few taverna.

    Hands down, the best shop on the island. I can honestly say my entire living room is full of Dimitra’s creations because they’re just brilliant. See for yourself- and thank me later!

    Totally peaceful spot, shame the Chapel was closed but it is a beautiful building, tough drive up there, quite steep in places but worth it

    Nice, cool and cozy. They have a nice terrace on the side with a swing, which is a great idea to enjoy a relaxing cocktail. The cocktails are very nice, always ask the waitress to explain. Maybe they can make a new creation cocktail as you like it. In general the place is not crowded, most people show up after 11:00pm.

    The setting is gorgeous: quiet, relaxed and few cars. Few cafes were open and lounges at the resort are expensive (€50 a pair) and so were two coffees €13.50). The water was cool, clear and with lots of small fish. Recommended but bring your €.
