Why Patmos
Patmos combines beautiful coastal scenery, elegant architecture and a rich cultural heritage in an island that feels markedly different from much of the Dodecanese. Visitors typically arrive via Kos or Athens before continuing by ferry, a journey that leads to one of Greece's most atmospheric and rewarding destinations.
Chora is the island's defining landmark, spreading beneath the imposing Monastery of Saint John, whose fortified walls can be seen from across the island. The settlement's grand houses, narrow streets and historic buildings create a character rarely found elsewhere in Greece, whilst the nearby Cave of the Apocalypse remains one of the country's most important religious sites.
Beyond the island's spiritual heritage, Patmos reveals a coastline of sheltered bays, attractive beaches and traditional harbours centred around Skala, the island's lively port. Quiet roads connect villages, viewpoints and hidden corners of the island, creating an experience that feels more refined and contemplative than many neighbouring destinations. Combined with boutique hotels, excellent restaurants and a strong sense of identity, Patmos offers one of the most distinctive holidays in the Greek Islands.
Signature Collection
The Petra
Petra Hotel & Suites is an adults-only boutique hotel in Grikos Bay, Patmos, where just eleven rooms arranged like a small village create a distinctly private, residential-style stay close to the water. The layout feels more like a cluster of individual houses than a conventional hotel, with rooms set across a series of small buildings that step gently around the pool area. Pathways connect each space, giving a sense of separation while still keeping everything within easy reach, and avoiding any centralised or busy core. The pool acts as the natural focal point, with the bar and dining areas positioned nearby, so movement through the property is simple and informal. The scale is key — everything is within a short walk, but spaced just enough to maintain a quiet, low-key atmosphere throughout the day. para-2 The eleven rooms and suites are individually positioned, each with its own balcony or terrace facing towards the bay. The layout leans towards open, comfortable living rather than formal structure, with higher-category suites adding more outdoor space, hot tubs or more elevated views. Interiors combine traditional elements with more personal touches, including artwork by Greek artists, giving each space a slightly different feel rather than a uniform design approach. para-3 There is one restaurant and one bar. The restaurant focuses on Greek cuisine with a simple, ingredient-led approach, starting with a breakfast built around local produce and continuing into a small, seasonal menu later in the day. The poolside bar provides drinks and lighter options, keeping everything centred around one main social area without the need for multiple venues. para-4 Days are centred around the pool and the nearby beach, with Grikos Bay just a short walk away. The setting is calm and sheltered, which suits the scale of the hotel and keeps the overall pace slow and relaxed. There’s little in the way of structured activity on-site, with most guests using the hotel as a base for swimming, resting and occasional excursions around the island. para-5 A small wellness offering is available, including massage treatments, but the focus remains on the setting and overall atmosphere rather than a full spa experience. para-6 The hotel is located in Grikos Bay, around 70 metres from the beach, approximately 5 minutes by car from Skala and 8 km from Chora, placing it in one of the quieter parts of Patmos while still within easy reach of the island’s main areas.

Patmos Aktis Suites & Spa
Patmos Aktis Suites and Spa is a five-star beachfront hotel set directly on Grikos Bay, where a larger-scale layout, direct beach access and a full spa offering set it apart on an otherwise low-key island. The hotel sits right along the curve of the bay, with the main spaces oriented towards the water rather than inward. From reception, the flow leads straight through to the pool and restaurant terrace, both positioned to take in uninterrupted sea views, while guest accommodation extends outwards in low-rise blocks close to the shoreline. Movement across the property feels open and linear, with the beach, pool and dining all within easy reach of each other. There’s a clear sense of being connected to the bay at all times, whether you’re by the pool, dining or returning to your room, which keeps the experience grounded in its setting rather than contained within the hotel itself. para-2 The 56 rooms and suites are positioned close to the sea, with most opening onto balconies or terraces that make the view a central part of the stay. Entry-level rooms are more straightforward in layout, while suites introduce additional space and, in some cases, private pools or shared pool access. Interiors keep a clean, understated approach, allowing the outdoor space and proximity to the water to take priority. Higher-category suites work best for longer stays, where the added privacy and outdoor areas make a noticeable difference. para-3 There is one main restaurant and one bar. Cielo e Mare Restaurant leads the dining, focusing on Mediterranean cuisine with a more refined approach, using ingredients sourced from Patmos and neighbouring islands. Cielo All Day Bar sits by the water and operates throughout the day, covering drinks, lighter dishes and a more relaxed setting. The combination keeps dining centred in one main area, with a clear shift in atmosphere from daytime to evening. para-4 The pool sits directly above the beach, with sun loungers arranged between the two, making it easy to move between swimming in the pool and the sea. The beach itself is calm and sheltered, which suits the overall pace of the hotel. Beyond that, activity is relatively low-key, with the focus more on time by the water, boat trips and exploring the island rather than structured on-site options. para-5 Anasa Wellness & Spa is a more developed part of the hotel, offering treatment rooms, an indoor pool, sauna and a full range of therapies using natural products. A gym is also available, rounding out a more complete wellness setup than many hotels on the island. para-6 The hotel is located in Grikos Bay, around 1 km from Skala Port and approximately 8 km from Chora and the Monastery of Saint John, placing it in a quieter coastal setting while still within reach of the island’s main points of interest.
