Map and driving instructions

Directions:

Patmos Hills are situated in a large garden on the top of the neighborhood called Kastelli in Skala. Skala is the village where you arrive with boats or ferries. We will normally have somebody meet you at the boat, but just to make sure, here are directions.

You can walk to the house. That takes about 10 minutes, but it is uphill and with lots of stairs. Not recommended with a heavy suitcase.

Alternatives are driving, if you have your own car, or using a taxi.

Driving instructions

Here is a map showing the driving route from the port to the house. Print this, and take it along, and you will have no problems.

Driving from the port, turn right and drive along the bay and pass the town beach to you right. There is only one road.

After about 1-2 minutes from leaving the boat, you will pass a small church on your left and have the yacht harbor to your right.

Drive another 150 meters after you have passed the church. You will see a small graveyard on your left. Immediately after the graveyard (drive slowly), turn left onto a small road taking you steeply up the hill. The road is actually between the graveyard and the electricity plant of Patmos.

After about 200 meters, there is an almost 180 degree turn in the road so that you are actually now driving back in the direction of the port (although of course on top of the hill).

Keep on the main road, do not take the small roads that forks off to the right. After about 200 meters the road turns right and you will see all of Skala down in from of you.

The road ends at a parking lot. Our house is to the left.

You have arrived!

Taxi – instructions for the taxi-driver

When you leave the boat, or ferry, turn right. In about 50 meters you will see a taxi-stand on the port side of the road. In the summer there is normally a line of people waiting, so be early and keep your place.

Tell the taxi-driver to take you to Kastelli, to the parking lot down from the house of Stavros Matheou. He will know where that is.

Depending on the number og people and luggage the fee should be from € 5 to € 8.

The Old House or The Farm House?

The Old House is the original house on the property. Cross a small wooden entrance way onto the main terrace.

The Farm House is the old place for the animals, and is partly situated under the main terrace of The Old House.

When you first arrive with all your luggage, pass over the main terrace, down the steps to you left. Later, you will use one of the garden entrances.
