My wife and I were very happy that our ship, the MV Celestyal Olympia, visited Patmos, on a cruise around the Greek Islands. As practising Catholics, we looked forward to seeing the cave where St. John wrote the Book of Revelation. We took an optional tour (paid tour). The tour took us first to the cave, then to this magnificent monastery on top of the hill. While the cave had a lot religious significance, this monastery was a real sightseeing gem. Wonderful location, great views, and plenty of history. (it is 1000 years old, whereas St. John lived in the cave, in exile, over 1900 years ago). There is a fantastic little museum, where you can see some very interesting church treasures, including the document signed by the Byzantine Emperor Alexis in 1088, establishing this monastery. As we had taken a paid tour, we had an excellent guide, who gave us an enormous amount of information. She also pointed out the best places to get photos. The views are stunning. One caution: your transport cannot take you right up to the entrance, it will need to park a fair way below. So, there is some climbing involved. If it is rainy, the cobblestones will be slippery and dangerous. Not a place to take a stroller!

Chora (also known as Hora) is absolutely gorgeous. Every narrow street is a photoshoot in and of itself. There are several good restaurants here the views from which are spectacular (our favourites were Benetos and Jimmys). There's the monastery museum to visit which is lovely. I suspect in normal times (ex covid) Chora is generally packed with tourists so best to go early or late. Luckily for us with it being mid September and no cruise ships visiting Patmos we'd Chora all to ourselves and it truly is a magical place

Greek winmills are unusual, unique in style and wonderfully photogenic. These are near the great monestary, so do not miss them, as they are away from the parking area. Great views from here.

My husband and I are going to patmos since many many years and a “must-do” is always the walk to psili Amos, which is around 25 minutes each way (I recommend to bring proper shoes). The hike is beautiful and you will have outstanding views. Once you arrive in “psili” a gorgeous sandy beach and an amazing taverna which serves homemade food. Really a must-see when you are on patmos! I would recommend to check the wind conditions before you go and to avoid weekends because during the week it is way less crowded!

This quiet beach is in a lovely bay between Skala and Kampos. It's a long beach with a bar and restaurant at the end (both are great). There are sunbeds for hire (6 euros each) plus canoes and sup paddle boards for hire (10 euros per hour). We loved coming here as it has a relaxing vibe yet all the amenities you'd want.

If you want an organised beach, with sunbeds, cafes, tavernas and a bus to take you door to door and back again then this is a great beach. We chose Maria's sunbeds, simply because it was nearest the bus stop and its price clearly displayed. I've never had service like it. She came round regularly to check you were alright, and adjusted the umbrellas depending whether you wanted shade or sun. You can bring your own drinks as well or visit the local hostelries. Even the wind was shielded. A perfect day.
