Everything about Yanis studio was fabulous. He picked me up from the port then drove me around pointing out good restaurants and coffee shops, drove me back with all my groceries and was always available when I had any questions. The studio and location were superb and I had a blissful two weeks relaxing in the sunshine and gazing at the magnificent views. The studio is sweet and cosy with very tasteful decor all built by Yanis. The studio is set in a beautiful garden full of palm trees and flowers. It is very quiet and peaceful. The walk from the studio down to Skala takes about 10 minutes and a cab back is 5€ if you are too tired to walk back.
I don't drive but could walk to the nearest beach called Meloi. It is about a 20 minute walk and well worth the effort as it was very beautiful. There are no beach beds or cafès so take some water. There is one taverna there but I didn't visit as I was too busy swimming. There are regular buses up to Choria which is very beautiful. I was very taken with the cave of St John and visited twice and took the gentle, scenic walk downhill back to Skala.
To eat I recommend Yiamas for different and delicious food. The best coffee was at Houston which also had delicious ice cream as did Stellios. All three are located in the main square. Patmos is beautiful and there are many places I did not visit as I really just needed to relax after a very busy summer but I really could not have found a better location, accommodation or host and I would definitely go back. Highly, highly recommended!! Thank you Yanis!
