Simply elegant
You will definitely find something magical about Patmos. It is one of the most delightful Greek
islands, combining elite with simple. The fascinating monastery of St John the Theologian, the
cave of Apocalpse and the historic town testimony the rich history of this place.
You will instantly feel the mystic ambience surrounding “chora”, a medieval town, built around
the imposing Monastery, comprised of, grand manors, splendid small squares, narrow alleys
and amazing neoclassical mansions, known for their distinct architecture and elegance.
Almost all of these beautiful houses are nowadays owned by some of the most important
Greek families and have been renovated with respect to the local tradition; as a result there is
total absence of swimming pools.The “high life” is nothing new to this island, with its royalty
mixes world famous artists and everyday bohemians, Patmos satisfies all different kinds of
taste. It also has some of the most gourmet restaurants of the Aegean and most beautiful and
famous bars.
Although, the island offers an extended array of beaches, ranging from sandy shores and
organized beach resorts to hidden and not very accessible beach coves, you should definitely
enjoy the experience of visiting all the smaller islands and islets curving around it.
The most preferable way to go to Patmos is by plane to the Samos and then by hydroplane
(50 minutes). The island also disposes helideck for those you prefer the convenience of a
direct flight to the island
