Finding your way to Patmos ferry port
The Patmos Ferry Terminal is in Skala, the main Port and village of the island. It sits right by the waterfront, within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants, and most accommodation in Skala. Patmos has no airport, so you’ll usually arrive by ferry from nearby islands or the mainland. From other parts of Patmos, you can reach the Port by taxi, rental car, or local bus services that connect Skala with villages like Chora and Grikos; journeys are short due to the island’s size.
On Nisyros, ferries arrive at the Port of Mandraki, the island’s main settlement, where you’ll find most services and places to stay a short walk from the Terminal. Taxis and local buses operate from Mandraki to other villages.
