When you arrive at the port of Patmos, Skala, it is difficult to imagine what you will actually come across. Very few elements refer to the mysterious aura of the island and almost nothing refers to a religious destination.
A genuine Aegean island, with obvious characteristics of Italian architecture, old houses covered by «petalochoma» and flower-filled gardens. All boats and vessels arrive at the port of Skala, since it is the only commercial port of Patmos. The ruins of the Acropolis and the spot where St. John baptized Christians in Skala, are definitely worth visiting.
