Cruising in Patmos

The Greek Islands have long held a magical appeal for travellers from the UK and further afield. From unspoilt beaches and secret coves to the vibrant island towns and quaint fishing villages, the Greek Isles offer holidaymakers a wealth of exciting destinations. One of the best ways to explore these breathtaking islands is to embark on a cruise holiday with a cruise operator such as Azamara Club Cruises.

A popular port of call in the Aegean is the island of Patmos, which passengers can explore during guided Cruisetour or at their leisure. As one of the Dodecanese islands situated near the Turkish coast, Patmos offers visitors a range of remarkable sights and a unique cultural history to explore. While the island may be small in size when compared to many of its other Greek counterparts, Patmos’ historical legacy is significant and has proved to be a popular drawcard.

As the proclaimed location where St John the Apostle wrote the Book of Revelation, Patmos has served as a haven for millions of Christians over the centuries. However, apart from its religious significance, the island offers cruise passengers a world of sights and sounds.

The two largest towns are Chora, and the island’s capital, Skala. Chora is the ideal starting point for a tour of the island’s rich heritage, while Skala combines modern luxuries with ancient charm and boasts some of the best restaurants, bars and shops on the island.

Patmos also does not disappoint in terms of pristine beaches. From the modern amenities present at Kampos and Agriolivadi’s beaches to the wild beauty of Psili Ammos, sunseekers will be in their element on Patmos.

Cruise passengers aboard one of Azamara Club Cruises’ luxurious ships can enjoy all that Patmos and the Greek islands have to offer in unrivalled style. Book now to secure your place on this holiday of a lifetime.
