toilets on Patmos island Greece

Toilet humour on Patmos? I wasn’t sure whether this colourful display in Chora was an art installation or an advertisement for a bathroom supply shop!

Grikos Bay Patmos

We stayed at gorgeous Grikos Bay on Patmos in May 2010 …

… and at Ktima Petra on the road to nearby Petra beach

 

Fantastic food: There are two things we remember most about our first-ever trip to Patmos in 2010: the beautiful scenery at Grikos Bay, and the equally impressive meals we had at three restaurants in the Grikos area. In fact, while we were on Samos after our visit to Patmos, we kept commenting about how much we missed the food at Grikos. And to this day, we still talk about one of the delicious dishes we enjoyed during two different dinners:  the roasted chickpeas at Flisvos restaurant. My attempts to recreate the recipe at home have failed miserably, so I’m hoping that some day soon we can return to Grikos and order them again!

Here’s a brief recap of our four memorable meals at Grikos Bay:
