Restored with sensitivity, love and style, Meli is an extraordinary proposition for connoisseurs of authentic Greek living. Discreetly tucked away on the upper edge of Chora, the picturesque, historic capital of Patmos, it is at once warmly welcoming, intriguing, soulful and inspiring. The views may tempt you to explore further afield, but once over the threshold you may prefer to stay put, apart from the occasional stroll to the cafés, bars and tavernas in town.
