The Medieval Chora of the island is different from any other you have seen. Built in a semi-circle with old mansions and cobbled streets as if it embraces the Castle found on its top, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Before going to the Chora you can walk around Skala, the port of the island. Enjoy your food and drink.

What must you see on the island?

  • You cannot go to Patmos and not visit the Monastery of Saint John the Theologian, located on top of the Chora.
