Skala Patmos, the Historical City of Cyprus

Located on the northern shore of the Aegean Sea, Skala Patmos is the most northern city in Cyprus. It is located on the shores of a small body of water called Skala Adriatica and is a picturesque town situated on a plateau on one of the most scenic spots in the entire country. The Skala Peninsula, as it is known to locals, has been home to both Greeks and Romans for centuries, and now you can find both sides of the island as tourists.

Skala Patmos was an ancient site of political importance. In the fifth century BC, Greek invaders found it a perfect place to establish their rule. Since then, the ancient city of Skala has served as the starting point for all major Greek archaeological excavations in the region. It is also one of the best preserved Greek sites in the world today.

Today, Skala has become the capital of Cyprus, serving as the central point of all activities in the country. It is not just tourism that draws visitors to this historic city of the Aegean, but also the activities that it holds for its residents. In fact, the town has long been an important center of Greek culture in the region, and many of its historical sites are also renowned for offering the perfect combination of Greek and Cypriot architecture. The ancient architecture is reflected even today in the churches of Skala and its surrounding villages.

When visiting Skala Patmos, be sure to take a tour around its many old and modern buildings. At one end of the peninsula stands the ancient Basilica of Santo Domingo, a former church. At the other end of the peninsula stands the beautiful Skala Cathedral, the oldest building in Cyprus, which dates back to the fourth century BC. Tourists are encouraged to tour both these famous sites before heading home.

If you are visiting Skala Patmos in the off season, there are plenty of things that you can do and see. While the weather is warm and the beaches are still attractive, the city itself is also an exciting place to visit. The downtown area, known as 'City Park' is a great place to visit during the summer months, as the beautiful green parks of Skala are surrounded by water sports. In addition, many local restaurants and cafes line the streets in and around City Park, making it a great place for family entertainment.

Although the climate in Skala is temperate, the area is famous for its history and culture, so it is important to visit the museum located in the city center. The museum is dedicated to the life of Saint Nicetes of Skala. This holy Athinas of Skala is a very popular tourist attraction because of its depiction of the early Christians living and practicing in the region. Although the museum is not open to the public during the winter months, the area is full of people who still gather there during the festival periods, such as the Skala Festivities.
