Villa Caryatids Patmos, Greece

Unforgettable Memories Await You at Villa Caryatids on Patmos

Swim in cystal-clear Aegean waters, explore hidden beaches, and wander through ancient hilltop villages with breathtaking views. As the sun sets over whitewashed rooftops, enjoy fresh seafood, local wine, and the island's warm, welcoming spirit.

Featured in the December 1992 and 2020 editions of Architectural Digest, Villa Caryatids is designed and furnished by the legendary John Stefanidis, the Egyptian-born, London-based AD100 interior designer, celebrated creator and master of “The Patmos Style”.

The private villa commands an entire city block on the medieval hilltop of Chora directly below The Monastery of St John the Theologian. It offers guests magnificent views looking south over the roofs of Chora to Profítas Elias and the Icarian archipelago from three spectacular viewing terraces with the Islands of Icaria, Mykonos, Naxos, Amorgos, ad Astypalea on the horizon.

The town of Chóra on the Island of Pátmos is one of the few settlements in Greece that have evolved uninterruptedly since the 12th century. There are few other places in the world where religious ceremonies that date back to the early Christian times are still being practised unchanged. The Apocalyptic Cave, the grotto which marks the spot where St John of Patmos received his vision recorded in the Book of Revelations, is a pilgrims walk down a Byzantine path from Chora.
