Shore Excursion Patmos, a Scene Island Tour...
4 Hours: Meet your private driver at Skala port to start on a private shore excursion, exploring Patmos's most popular scenic sites. Our first stop is the “Holy Cave of the Apocalypse,” followed by a visit to the Chora windmills dating back to 1588, offering an opportunity for memorable photos.
As we continue our drive around the island, marvel at the outstanding natural beauty — rocky hills, numerous tongues of land extending into the sea, tranquil beaches, and picturesque inlets. Passing by Grikos Bay, immerse yourself in the pristine natural scene with crystal-clear waters before reaching the Bay of Lambi, where the beach's colorful stones provide a small souvenir to take home.
