Skala Beach Patmos

Skala Beach is the central and most accessible beach on the island of Patmos, located right next to the main port and settlement. It features a shore of sand and small pebbles with clear blue water that is kept clean by the northern winds. The beach is well-equipped with modern comforts, including sunbeds, showers, and proximity to numerous cafes and tavernas. It is a hub for social activity and is very popular because of its convenient location and the beautiful view of the Chora and the Monastery on the hill. The water is shallow near the shore and the entry is easy for all swimmers, making it a practical choice for a quick dip or a family day out. The atmosphere is vibrant and reflects the urban maritime culture of the island. You can find everything from water sports to quiet corners for sunbathing within a short distance. It is a part of the coast that is full of local character and nostalgic charm for all.
