We stayed in Patmos for four days interested mainly in the religious sites. This is the best place we saw for doing that. You are at the top just outside of Chora and can walk down various paths then take a taxi back. The view from the large deck overlooking Skala and the islands was spectacular. Just below the deck are lovely flower and herb gardens that are part of the house. Lefteris was a great host, leaving several special treats in the kitchen for us.
