Greek summer at its best. That is exactly what happens in the hotel «Patmos Aktis», you create experiences that will inspire you for a lifetime., Patmos, Greece

Hotel Location

Patmos Island , Aegean nobility

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.

During the last few years, recent tourist development has left the architectural tradition of the two main settlements of Patmos (Chora and Skala) untouched, granting the island a genuine Greek identity. This is one of the main reasons that Patmos constitutes an attractive destination both for Greek and foreign visitors.

An island different from the others not only due to its rich religious history, but also its natural beauty. Rocky, volcanic and steep, with the highest peak being that of Prophet Elias in 269 meters, at the south part of Chora, Patmos is often characterized as the «Jerusalem of the Mediterranean» and is one of the largest religious centers of Christianity.

A truly sacred place, combining wild beauty with Greek authenticity and medieval aspects, since the settlement of Chora, the largest on the island, is positioned just below the Monastery of St. John the Evangelist and unfolds like tree roots underneath the Monastery. Most houses in Chora are two -floored, «anokatoga» as the locals call them.

Milky - white painted mansions and whitewashed little houses climb the slopes of the hill. You come across white terraces, cool arcades, mysterious passages with narrow stairs, roofs covered with tiles, courtyards with geraniums and jasmine and a dazzling white - blue landscape, creating a summery atmosphere.

The magic comes when suddenly, the blue sky and Aegean sea appear among whitewashed houses. A mysterious silence diffuses permanently across the area, exuding an imposing gracefulness.

Chora, due to its history, construction and architecture, attracts both famous personalities and non-celebrities. People of the arts and culture are found in almost every corner of Chora, forming an underground cultural stream, maintaining and enriching the intense cultural life of Patmos, as well as its exclusive character. For all the above and for countless other reasons, Chora is considered one of the most expensive residential areas of Europe.

The remaining two settlements of the island are Groikos and Kampos.Kampos is located in the northern part of Patmos, is mainly considered to be an agricultural area and has organized beaches. Finally, Groikos is about 4.5 km from Skala and stands out for its natural wild beauty, scenic beach and cute piers where boats or vessels may tie.

Waking up pleasantly by the first light of day. Once you open your eyes you face the bay of Grikos. Laying in your bed, you see the distant Tragonisi and Kalikatsou, you watch the sailboats and yachts decorate the sea, you observe seabirds making their morning strolls and start daydreaming by staring at the ever-changing blue shades of the sea. When you approach the window, you actually see yourself diving! However, the most striking feature of this room is not the view, but the way the wall changes colors according to the time of the day. In the morning you see a white color, at noon it changes into yellow, in the afternoon it's almost like orange and in the evening playful shadows are formed by the evocative moonlight.

Next to the bedroom, with the double bed, the white linen curtains and the fitted comfortable wardrobe, you find the living room, isolated by a sliding wooden door. The wall is painted dark gray, the wooden floor is sand colored - giving the impression you walk on the beach and the sofa is so huge and comfortable that you want to invite your friends in order to share the beauty of Grikos with them. The bathroom is equally spacious and consists of materials which generate tranquility. Walls are made of marble, reminiscent of a Roman bath, while the non-slippery floor provides all the security you need.

There is a variety of recommended routes you can choose from, discovering and exploring landscapes of natural beauty such as sandy beaches, rocky islets, turquoise-colored waters, outstanding crystal clear seascapes, coastal blossoming trees, colorful seaside flowers and numerous traditional, unspoiled Greek houses in isolated areas.

You may choose from the following recommended routes:

  • Tiganakia - Marathoi - Arkoi – Agrielousa
  • Island tour of Patmos

Arki: Arki (ancient Arkitis) is the largest of a group of islands, north of Lipsi. The islanders live of fishing. You have the feeling that Arki is forgotten. Far from tourism, the island is lost is its mystical peace and tranquility. There is only a single village with stone houses, a cafeteria where you will find beach necessities or clothing and two restaurants, which we highly recommend for lunch, offering fresh fish and seafood. Opposite Arki, you can find the island of Marathi, on a fine sandy beach. You can reach it in about 25 minutes, starting from Grikos.

Marathi: There's something about Marathi Island that seems to exude tranquility, a feeling which is almost absorbed through the skin, just as the rays of the sun. Often, there seems to be a problem in the effort of dragging people away from this small, secluded island. It is really tiny: a curved sheltered bay with many small coves, in which you can navigate. The pier divides the bay into two sandy sides with sheltered waters, suitable for swimming. There are also two restaurants which will most definitely satisfy your hunger, offering seafood and fresh fish, literally from the sea to your plate. You can reach it in about 20 minutes, starting from Grikos.

Tiganakia: Perhaps the most popular spot for swimming for those familiar with the area. This is a huge clean pool, where you can simply swim for hours. The color of the sea: crystal-blue and the seabed, sandy. The water is so clean that you can see everything without a marine mask. There is no surface to get off and walk around, but you can simply indulge in incessant diving. You can reach it in about 25 minutes, starting from Grikos.

Additional information: A one-day power boat cruise usually takes place from 10:00 am to 18:00.
The boat can host approximately up to ten (10) people including the crew.
The duration of the journey varies, depending on weather conditions (wind intensity, wind direction etc).

Your boat, your schedule!

Interested parties may also choose a route of their own preference than those recommended above. There are a number of alternative options, such as a tour to Tragonisi, (the island seen opposite the hotel), a visit to the stone of Kalikatsou (the huge rock that juts out of the water and looks like a sculpture in the sea on the right side of the hotel) or an island tour of Patmos, discovering the coastline of the Island.

Feeling the need to be left alone?

An option to be transferred and dropped off in one of the nearby beaches is available, in order to enjoy additional privacy and soak in nature. The pick-up time for the return is scheduled upon request in coordination with the skipper/driver of the powerboat. Some indicative the beaches are Psili Ammos (5 to 10 minutes), Monastiri (10 to 15 minutes), Prsasovouno (5 to 10 minutes) and Kampanaria (5 to 10 minutes). The estimated time may differ due to different weather conditions.

Picture of  Playground Recreation in a safe environment

Playground Recreation in a safe environment

You follow the flowery path right outside of «Theion Sea Bar». On your right, you see the hotel's playground, a place suitable for children, reminding you of a traditional alley. The playground is not visible from most sides of the hotel. The surrounding flowering plants and trees, generously add an element that should not be missing from any childhood: nature. The natural environment, overlooking Grikos bay, is impressive even from this side of the hotel. It gives away that emotional serenity, insouciance and excitement you feel when you first climb into a swing or when you roll over a slide for the first time. Roses, laurel and rosemary are fragrant, while the whitewashed background, irreducibly maintains the traditional character of the hotel.

The main playground equipment, looking like a tree house at the center of the area, consists of a wooden slide and a climbing rope. Right next to the tree house, you find two swings and a little further, three childish seats and plenty of space to be used as a separate playing section. Along the playground, you find scattered toys on the floor and children playing carefree. They enjoy running light -hearted, with no anxiety or fear since the floor, in brick red shades, is made of such materials as to protect the little ones from bruises as they fall. Throughout playing, all children must be supervised by their parents, who are considered responsible for their safety.

When someone finds himself in the hotel's playground, he can understand why it provides an anachronistic entertainment experience for our young guests. Creating a sense of security, the perimeter is enclosed by a white wooden fence. You hear the birds tweeting and sense all these natural aromas: flowers, earth, wood and sea. You cannot but feel like a child, once again.

SPA & Welnness

Picture of  Anasa Wellness & Spa

Anasa Wellness & Spa

A wellness labyrinth

Geranium, ginger, violet, rosemary, lavender, chamomile, orange blossom, coriander, lily and ylang - ylang. A plethora of scents raises your interest and inevitably leads you to the inferior level of the hotel. The aroma of essential oil cinnamon and ocean breeze, mysteriously awakens your senses. The element of water is dominant. Τhe decorative pool from the upper level is circularly mirrored in the marble floor right in front of your feet, giving form and shape to the diffusing moving light. Like an invisible projector, it enlightens the reflected water that rhythmically dances on a perfectly round blue platform. A cool sensation of freshness embraces your body from your toes to your face, as you enter the indoor pool area. At the far end of the room, you find a hydro-static pressure mechanism from where water, falls fiercely over the surface of the pool. The absolute silence in the area is only interrupted by the reliable sound of the moving water. A wellness labyrinth unfolds, inviting you to discover it. Blindly, you trust the warming presences of the area, leading you through a delightful path of wellbeing.

Dark, earthy shades which soothe your eyes and mood, preparing you for the state of emotional peace that will follow. The atmosphere is romantic with lanterns, lighted candles on the floor, hidden lighting and gentle music, motivating you to appropriate the looseness of the area by trying some of the various massage techniques or face / body treatments. And then you reach the cabins, rooms dressed in fifty shades of the earth: brown, beige, gray, khaki, ecru and white. You notice brown cylindrical leather pillows and wooden beds in light tones. White, plush towels are folded roundly on each bed, with water lilies resting upon them. Almost black, wooden ladders leaning against the walls stand still on white pebbles around the floor. Fuchsia flower wreaths are hanged on the walls, evoking carefree feelings. What particularly characterizes the cabins and creates a mystical atmosphere are the monastic bronze utensils, hanging like tin cans. They effortlessly persuade you that there is a process which will reverently lead you to a state of body cleansing and serenity. And at that moment, just when you realize that your holidays' cheerfulness does not fit room for improvement, you come across the couple's massage cabin that promises moments of pure delight with your loved ones.

The temperature literally... goes up! The Rasul room, decorated in Ottoman, Turkish style adds authenticity. Rasul treatment uses mineral-rich mud components, along with heat and steam. It addresses all five senses, using light and sound effects, providing a holistic tranquil experience. Suddenly, a smell of wood and steam is vivid. Bio sauna (thermal bathing) is a mild form of sauna, which pleasantly eases your body and soul. Bio sauna forms a way of detoxification, purification and redemption.

Calmness is a one way street as you walk towards the nail salon. Time literally stops in this room, since the first thing you face as you enter the area, is a clock permanently stopped, always showing the exact same time, confirming what every visitor wishes: when at the Anasa Wellness & Spa, time stops for a while. If you feel you need a dose of tendering care you are at the right place. Apart from the attractive, huge, leather pedicure chair with the marble basin bath at the bottom, you will find a manicure section, with several baskets full of colorful nail polishes. Moving into the opposite side of the room, there is a white bathing armchair and a marble, round basin, where experts will pamper your hair. In the opposite direction you will find a wooden counter with a large mirror, suitable for professional makeup or even artistic makeup services. Cylindrical and elaborately folded, the all white plushy towels are found in nearly every room or cabin at the spa, adding an artistic touch to the tranquil ambiance.

This room, by itself, forms an attractive beauty salon. Do not forget to contact the spa reception in order to book an appointment. Hair salon and professional makeup services are exclusively offered upon request, therefore appointments are strongly advised.

Moving to the central area of the spa, heading towards the cabins, the wooden circular candles on the floor form the only illumination in this questionable path. This diacritical semi darkness provides the necessary coziness in this glassy cell from which you don't want to escape. Into the first room of this glass labyrinth, you find a fitness room, with cardio machines (bikes, elliptical and treadmill) and some fitness machines for specific muscle groups (back, legs). In absolute symmetry, different weight dumbbells are positioned on the right side of the room, on a bench suitable for specialized training, right next to the glass door of the room. You may notice figures of people working out undisturbed as you pass outside the fitness room, since visibility is limited, blocked by horizontal circumferential bands on the glass.

Separate changing rooms and showers are available, both for men and women, in order to prepare before or after training. Individual lockers are also available, you may ask for keys at the spa reception. Towels, personal bathrobes, slippers and disposable underwear are provided, while personal training services can be offered only by appointment. The indoor pool may be used at any time, within spa working hours.

Hotel Description

Patmos Aktis Suites & Spa , Blessed accommodation

Dazed by the heat, with heavy legs due to the exhausting lifestyle of the winter, you get up from the white sun bed and stand up. You walk two steps into the thick sand and your feet are eager to enter the blue sea. Overlooking Tragonisi, you take a long dive in order to cool off. Once you come back to the surface, life has a more optimistic flavor. Fishes bite your feet and seagulls land near you, while the sun paints the water surface with golden stripes. Released from all stressful thoughts, since saltiness burned all the anxiety, you feel blessed to be worthy of such a dive. Greek summer at its best. That is exactly what happens in the hotel «Patmos Aktis», you create experiences that will inspire you for a lifetime.

And it’s not only the long dives in optimism that will remain memorable during your stay in the revived Xenia. Your long afternoon strolls in the outdoor area of the hotel create the impression of walking in Chora. White-washed stone walls, picturesque alleys decorated with all kinds of flowers leading you from one neighbor to another and well preserved gardens compose this contemporary white province of 56 rooms and villas. The mystic ambiance forms a feeling that you are lost somewhere in the Eastern Mediterranean, with the sun following every step of your personal exploration.

Here, luxury comes hand in hand with complete relaxation. The construction materials won’t dominate you, you are free to wander, enjoy the salty air and solely discover all these elements that invisibly combine the hotel with the island’s historical and cultural identity. The riddle of this unconscious, yet existing, discovery already starts from the lobby area, where you notice a red inked signature on the wall, behind the reception desk. It represents the contract with which, in April 1088, Alexios A’ Komninos handed over Patmos to Saint Christodoulos in order to build the Monastery of Saint John the Evangelist.
