About Skala
The island's port and its liveliest village, on a deep bay at the narrow waist of Patmos. Yachts tie up along the seafront, cafés stay open until the last ferry, and the road climbs from here to Chora and the monastery. It is the easiest base if you want to walk to dinner and take boats to the beaches.
