Plages à Patmos

Best Beaches

Patmos offers a diverse coastline ranging from the organized, shallow waters of Kampos to the secluded dunes of Psili Ammos, accessible only by boat or trail. Visitors can explore the rare volcanic pebbles of Lampi, the iconic Kalikatsou rock formation at Petra, or the calm, sheltered bay of Grikos. Most beaches feature natural shade from tamarisk trees and crystal-clear Aegean waters, providing a mix of pebble-lined shores and fine golden sand.
