Visitor Access
You can come to Patmos Traditional Cottage by bus or taxi from the central port (Skala) of Patmos. Its distance is only 3 km (8 minutes) from the port of Patmos.
To conveniently explore the island, we advise that you rent a vehicle (auto, scooter, etc.). If you are on foot, you will need about 30 minutes depending on the route to walk from Skala to Chora. The older path (Aporthianos) has a shorter length, but is more atmospheric, with a beautiful view. It starts right below the windmills and was until 1818 the main street of the settlement. It is worth walking this route at least once, which is worth noting that it passes right by the Cave of the Apocalypse, this unique religious monument that is worth visiting regardless of your religion.
