Another wonderful stay at this beautiful house. Perfectly positioned to enjoy the peace and magic of Patmos. We loved to be able to walk to the sea, the house is moments away from the most glorious beach. We will be back.

Un séjour agréable et reposant, parmi les vignes et les cultures maraîchères. Un aspect du charme de Patmos qui en recèle tant. La situation est proche de nombreuses plages.

About the host
Hosted by Nick Minas
Hi! My name is Nick Minas. I am the owner of the house in Patmos, Greece. I currently live in Los Angeles, where I am a marketing consultant, entrepreneur and actor. I love to travel across the world and regularly visit Patmos (once a year) and know it for many years. Both sides of my family are from this special island. If you ever want any ideas, please let me know. I also have very friendly and professional local house managers and support staff to help you with all of your needs. If there is anything we can do to make your stay more enjoyable, please let us know!
Why they chose this property
I am so excited to have you enjoy the house, as it was passed down to me from my Greek grandmother who lived in with her family in the early 1900's. Of course, it was built before that for previous generations as well. The renovations make the house enjoyable today, with modern conveniences, but still retaining a classic Greek style.
What makes this property unique
This home was completely renovated in 2016. It maintains a classical architecture, while updated with convenient, modern furnishings. I love the quiet privacy of the countryside and patio. At the same time, it is extremely convenient (short, 5 minute walk) to Kampos beach, what I personally feel is the best beach on the island of Patmos. At the beach, you can find peace and quiet, or a relaxed, social environment, for example, at George's Place (restaurant/cafe).
