Communication with Eva was smooth right from the time of the booking. Though our ferry arrived in Patmos pretty late, around midnight, it was no problem for her to pick us up. When we arrived, there were a small basket of “welcome fruits” and a bottle of “welcome mineral water” waiting for us at the apartment. During our stay we and Eva were in touch via WhatsApp all the time (and we met several times, too), she was very kind and helped us right way when we had some requests related to the apartment or we had questions about the island. The kitchen is well-equipped, and the apartment is cleaned every day. The place is very quiet, from the balcony of the downstairs apartment we stayed at there is a nice view on the local everyday life, namely we watched a goat herd every morning leaving for the surrounding areas to graze. As our ferry left the island in the afternoon, we left our big bags at the apartment and Eva was kind to bring us them to the port later on. To sum up, we definitely recommend Filio Apartments for everyone to stay at. Patmos is absolutely worth visiting, there are a lot of lovely beaches around the island, some of them with a nice tavern on the spot or nearby, some without any infrastructure at all, other sights are the monastery, the holy cave and the windmills. Everything is within an easy reach if one rents e.g. an e-bike, this is what we actually did.
