Full Description

Patmos by ferry via Kuşadası

From Skala harbour to Chora’s whitewashed lanes

Skala is the ferry port and a convenient base for a walk, coffee or lunch. Uphill in Chora, narrow paved streets and the Monastery of Saint John reveal a different part of the island. The Cave of the Apocalypse and Chora’s windmills are further independent options if the timing suits you.

Staying in Skala or heading up to Chora

Skala has enough near the port for a walk and a meal. Chora sits higher up and offers a separate route for its lanes and the area around the monastery. If you also want to see the Cave of the Apocalypse, allow time to reach it and visit. Work to the confirmed boarding time when deciding how far from the port to go.

Planning your day on the island

The time after arrival is yours to plan. You can stay close to the port for a walk or make one village, museum or beach the focus of the visit. Before heading away from the waterfront, check how long local travel takes and which services can bring you back. Keep the ferry boarding deadline in mind when planning your last stop.

What to look for along the way

Skala is the port where you arrive. It suits a short waterfront walk, a meal and a day within easy reach of the ferry. Chora, higher on the hillside, has white houses and stone passages. If you plan to see both the Monastery of St John and the Cave of the Apocalypse, work backwards from your return boarding time.
