Patmos Marina
Skala is Patmos's main harbour town and the island's beating heart, sitting on the west coast with a lively waterfront lined with cafés and tavernas just steps from the dock — Sam's Café/Bakery is practically right there. Berthing is managed by the Municipal Port Fund (reachable at +30 2247 0 60316, open 9am–10pm) and comes in at a very reasonable €5.88 per night. The real draw here is the setting itself — you're anchored between the UNESCO-listed Monastery of Saint John crowning the hilltop above and the charming village of Chora, both worth the climb up from the waterfront.
