Patmos - At a Glance

Located in the Dodecanese group of islands and covering a relatively small area—just 16 square miles—Patmos is one of international tourism’s best-kept secrets. Increasingly sought out by sophisticated travelers in search of a truly restful holiday, few places on earth offer the unique combination of features that draw visitors here: breathtaking scenery, rich history, and profound tranquility. Patmos greets every traveler with a special aura—it speaks quietly to the soul of all who come ashore.

GETTING AROUND

BY TAXI

While your TrueTrip experience likely includes transfers to and from airports, ports, and hotels, there may be occasions when you’ll need a taxi. Always ensure the driver starts the meter when you enter the taxi, and double-check it before paying. If you’re unsure about a fare, consult your hotel concierge—they can also assist in arranging taxi pick-ups for you.

BY CAR

Public transportation makes getting around Patmos relatively easy. However, if you’d like to explore more remote spots, consider renting a car. Your hotel concierge can help you make arrangements with a trusted local car rental company. Please note that many roads are narrow and may be heavily trafficked—drive with caution.

BY MOPED

Renting a moped is a popular option on the Greek islands, and it provides the flexibility to explore Patmos at your own pace. However, roads are often old, narrow, and busy—so we strongly recommend using extra caution. Your hotel concierge can assist with arranging a safe and reliable rental.
