We had an incredible stay at Patmos and the Nicolas studios. My husband and I last visited Patmos 29 years ago and we had fond memories of Meloi beach so wanted to stay close to there but also in walking distance of skala. The location of the studios was ideal, a short walk to Meloi and about 10 min walk to town. The studio was really comfortable and we had a lovely view of the sea. Nicolas and his family were so kind. Nicolas picked us up and dropped us off at the port. We had watermelon and water when we arrived. Cake appeared in our room that evening. It was my husbands birthday while there and they left a beer for us. On our last eve Nicolas dropped off some cheese and grapes for us. He helped us arrange e-bikes and was always offering lifts (although we enjoy walking places). We were thrilled that although Patmos has changed it was still the special place that we remembered from our Youth. We had some fantastic meals and there are some lovely bars. We walked up to Chora via the old donkey path, which is hard work but worth it. The highlight was the e-bikes, we got to see areas of the island we hadn’t seen before and the most incredible views. We had a very special stay, which was made all the more special by Nicolas and his family. We’ll go back to Patmos (and not leave it 29 years next time!), and wouldn’t hesitate to book Nicolas studios. P.s Meloi beach is quiet, no sunbeds, but that’s it’s charm….laid back and shade from trees.
