Looking like a miniature village spilling down the terraced hillside, this family-run and family-friendly hotel stands over the pretty bay of Grikos.

Traditional whitewashed exteriors conceal discreetly luxurious rooms and suites with flatscreen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and plenty of contemporary Greek art. Large and airy, most rooms have sea-view balconies; all have access to the pool. There’s a gourmet restaurant with gorgeous sea views – dinner is served on the veranda.

The charming owners pay attention to every detail, from the home-made pastries at breakfast to treats at turndown.

Cave of the Apocalypse
Experience

Cave of the Apocalypse

Patmos, Greek Islands, Greece[1.8 miles]

This creepy cavern is where St. John the Evangelist had his apocalyptic revelations (which became the last book of the New Testament). Adorned with 12th-century wall paintings and shimmering icons, the sacred grotto is often packed with Greek pilgrims, as well as day trippers from the many cruise ships that service Patmos.

Psili Ammos beach
Experience

Psili Ammos beach

Patmos, Greek Islands, Greece[3.2 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

Lambi Beach

Patmos, Greek Islands, Greece[7.1 miles]

A tranquil beach in the north of the island, famous for its beautiful, multicoloured pebbles. But beware: you can be fined if you remove any pebbles from the beach.
