Fodor's Expert Review Porto Scoutari

It seems only fitting that Patmos should have a hotel that reflects the architectural beauty of the island while providing luxurious accommodations—and the enormous, suitelike guest rooms and a verdant garden (with a swimming pool) help it fit the bill nicely. Furnishings differ from room to room and include brass beds and reproduction Greek antiques; the lobby and breakfast rooms are also exquisitely decorated with traditional pieces. Owner Elina Scoutari, who lived in Washington, DC, for many years, is on hand to see to your needs, and a chef prepares intimate meals in the hotel's small bistro. A short walk takes you to Melloi Beach.
