Best places to stay:
Dressed in white, with four poster beds and fine antique furniture, the suites at Porto Scoutari are among the most stylish and spacious on Patmos. The 34-key hotel is spread across four low-rise wings built amphitheatrically above Meloi bay, so it never feels crowded.
A tranquil, heart-shaped pool, small spa and gym are set in well-maintained gardens studded with palm trees. The chapel in the grounds and romantic ambience make this a popular wedding venue.
One kilometre north of Skala, the lively port of Patmos, the hotel is secluded but easy to access. It’s a 10-minute walk to the beach. Reasonable low-season rates include complimentary transfers to and from the port.
Service is exceptional, overseen by the owner Elina Scoutari.

Patmos, Greek Islands, Greece[6.3 miles]
Patmos is short on sandy beaches, but Psili Ammos (meaning ‘fine sand’) is a gem. It’s only accessible by water taxi from Skala or a one-hour hike over the hills from Grikos, rewarded by ice-cold beer and stewed goat at the shady taverna on arrival.
Best for ages: 4+ | Free
