Overview

Perched in the heart of Chora, Pagostas Patmos captures the island's quiet mystique through refined simplicity and timeless Cycladic design. Behind thick stone walls and whitewashed arches, this 16th century mansion has been reimagined into a serene retreat of just a few suites. Sunlight drifts across hand carved details and antique wood, while shaded courtyards and sea view terraces invite unhurried moments of calm. It's a place that feels private, soulful and unmistakably Patmian.
