Patmos at your doorstep
Skala is where the island lives: the ferries come and go, the cafés fill and empty, and everything you might need is within a few hundred metres.
The port town is the practical and social heart of Patmos — restaurants and cafés along the harbour, food markets and bakeries in the back lanes, buses and taxis for the rest of the island, boats for the beaches you can't drive to. Eirinaki House sits in the middle of it, about 400 metres from the ferry — close enough to walk from the boat to your door.
In town
The harbour front
Cafés for the morning, ouzeries for the evening, and the volta — the slow walk along the water everyone takes after dark.
Markets & shops
Bakeries, greengrocers and food shops in the back streets — stock the kitchen without touching the car.
Ferries & boats
Skala is the island's only port: ferries to Piraeus and the Dodecanese, and day boats to Psili Ammos and the islets.
Buses & taxis
The island bus and the taxi rank both start at the port — Chora, Grikos and Kampos are all short rides.
Why stay in town
A town stay suits travellers without a car, ferry-timed arrivals, and anyone who likes their coffee, swim and dinner all within a ten-minute walk. Eirinaki House adds what town houses rarely have: two terraces and private parking. Guests rated its location 9.5 on Booking.com.
