Patmos Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Excellent day trip with very friendly and knowledgeable guide, Tia. Well organised stops at each location and help with photo taking by the guide Tia.

We had a lovely experience and would definitely recommend to anyone. We had an easy pick up point and everything was explained. Our tour guide Tia was so friendly and lovely, she took plenty of photos for us and gave us tips And advice. We are lucky enough to have her again tomorrow for another tour.

Our guide was very knowledgeable with all aspects of history of the island and monastery. He covered the topics in a passionate manner which kept us engaged the entire 3 hours. Highly recommend

We had a fantastic day. The description of the tour was exactly as we thought. Our bus driver was mega experienced at driving the Kefalonia roads. The highlights was the knowledge that our tour guide Rosa gave us. She was so passionate about Kefalonia so knowledgeable, warm and friendly. Fab day out. Thankyou to the tour company

We saw a lot of the island. Wendy the guide was very very good and knowledgeable. A really good day out.

This island is steep in history and it's a holy island..there is lot to learn! Very relaxing and good fresh food

This is an excellent tour to relax in Ithaca. Please be aware that approximately 10 is the tour be mindful of where you are being picked up from hotel the total day can be 12.5 hours for a hotel pickup on the other side of the island. The knowledge of the guid was amazing and the driver was extremely skilled. The beaches were stunning and definitely no need to take and food or drinks lots of amazing cafes, restaurants and shops on the tour. Enjoy by all aged 13-40s 🙂

In June, two friends and I traveled to Patmos mainly to see the Cave of the Apocalypse and St. John's Monastery. Through a web search, we found Nick Alafakis, a private tour guide in Patmos. He was the best! We contacted him months before the trip and he quickly and patiently replied, to my numerous inquiries about various options until we decided on the perfect plan to satisfy our wants for the tour.Nick met us at our hotel to escort us to the Cave of the Apocalypse and then to St John's Monastery. When we asked, he was flexible, accommodating and willing to pick us up at an earlier time so we could attend the Mass at the Cave, giving a wonderful commentary along the way. Having a degree in Theology he was extremely knowledgeable to give the background and explanation to the two sites as well as as interesting information about the island. Attending the Mass in the Cave, hearing the beautiful voice of the cantor was most spiritual and peaceful.Nickolas was a fantastic guide, incredibly knowledgeable. and a great storyteller. He patiently answered any questions we had and gave interesting explanation on the exhibits at St. John's Monastery. Even after a short tour, we felt as though we were friends. I would definitely recommend Nicolas Alafakis to anyone visiting Patmos. He was the best!Our days at Patmos were a true joy. I hope to return.

Patty's knowledge of the religious highlights of this island was wonderful. He is a warm, enthusiastic, clear communicator with a lovely sense of humour. He was able to get us to all the sites in our short allotted time between ferries, and juggling their different open hours. In hindsight I should have planned to stay an extra day, just to soak in more of the atmosphere of Patmos and to reflect more on its history and its place in the story of the world's existence.

Really good tour. Wendy was really informative and helpful. Overall a very good way to see the island.

My friend and I booked this tour as a part of our post-graduation trip. It's a great option for people who are looking to see Kefalonia but lack a car of their own. Our tour guide Wendy was FANTASTIC, super personable and I loved the jokes she included along the way. She was clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about her work. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour as a great way to see different parts of the island. One thing I would note is it's important to check where the tour takes you in comparison to where you'll be staying, as that can significantly increase your time in the bus if you're staying further away. Besides that, it was a very worthwhile experience!

A wonderful look around the island of Patmos. Very knowledgeable about the island and all the history. It was great being able to wander and spend time as we needed at the cave and monastery,

Easy=going all day trip was worth it - we saw the key things we wanted to see and wasn't rushed at all. Perfect pacing for kids as my 2/5 year old did great! Dimitris and Asha were great!!

Good taster for kefalonia best done early on your holiday to take in all the information. Lovely thoughtful guide, Maria

Jason was very detailed oriented regarding information on where we went. I am grateful and appreciative on all the knowledge of St. John, the Monastery and cave we went to go see. (Mike was a great driver stopping at where/what we wanted to see) Patmos is beautiful and peaceful-maybe someday to come back. Thank you!

Our family of four (kids ages 13 and 11) loved the Christian Tours in Athens & Ancient Corinth. Communication prior to our tour was wonderful. Our driver was very friendly and accommodating, doing his best to get us as close to the attractions as possible. Our tour guide was an endless wealth of information and truly a delight to spend the day with. She offered to take family photos for us every chance possible and gave us tips on how to spend the rest of our time in Athens. This tour was hands down the best we have ever taken on any of our travels. I have recommended the tour to anyone who asks about our travels to Greece.
