Area
Patmos is
both, the holy island of Saint John’s Revelation
and a beautiful spot in the Aegean. It is a
place of natural simplicity, where the charm of
the landscape answers to the religious
spirituality of the inhabitants. Here,
touristic development does not clash with
tradition. Interesting landscaping, good
stonework and traditional architectural features
combine in the seren Irini Holiday Homes to give a
fine example of local building. The houses
stand in the area of Sapsila, five minutes from
Grikos, ten minutes from Hora, and about a hundred
meters from the nearest beach. The owners are
Christos and Irene Kamitsi, they live in Hora with
their Family. Wanting to make use of their plot
of land at Sapsila, they decided to build seven
two-story houses with a view of the sea. The
work was completed in May 2003. The owners were
very careful to keep the design within the
framework of the traditional local architecture,
and gave special attention to the choice of
building materials as well as to the detail of
interior decoration. Though the houses are not
far from Hora, they are sufficiently distant for
nothing to disturb the quiet peace and relaxation
afforded by the view of the blue water.

Architecture &
Decoration
The large double beds, wooden
tables, the old mirrors that decorate the bedrooms, the
traditional furniture and even small decorative objects
and the white curtains were all selected with the
greatest attention to detail to reflect and respect the
island’s traditions. All the rooms have a natural
simplicity and a welcoming friendliness, open to the
air, the sun the Mediterranean Sea. While the seven
holiday homes are each an individual variant of style of
building, they also, of course, cater to every modern
comfort, being fully equipped with air-conditioning,
television and CD-player, hot and cold water,
refrigerator
etc.
