Patmos. This is a relatively small island in the Dodecanese, not exceeding 35 square kilometers. Rocky and barren, Patmos island actually began to develop after 1088 when the Monastery of Saint John the Theologian was founded. The Monastery and the Cave of the Apocalypse, where St John the Theologian wrote the Revelation, one of the 27 books of the New Testament, turned Patmos into a significant spiritual center.

Today Patmos, the holy island of the Dodecanese, is a cosmopolitan tourist destination that still maintains its intense spirituality.

When you reach Patmos, the first thing you'll face is Skala, which is the island's port. Here you'll find whatever you expect from a prime tourist destination: restaurants, taverns, bars, hotels and guest rooms, as well as transport for the rest places and the beautiful beaches of the island.

The most prominent place in Patmos that attracts thousands of visitors every year is, without doubt, Chora. It is a beautiful traditional village, above which one of the two main attractions of the island, the Monastery of St. John the Theologian dominates . The second is of course the Cave of the Apocalypse, which is located on a hill between Skala and Chora. You need not be a faithful Christian to understand the magnetism exuded by these locations.

Stroll around the picturesque narrow alleys of Chora, discover wonderful houses, stately mansions and windmills and enjoy the wonderful view before heading out to explore the rest of the island and its beautiful beaches.

Patmos is a very special tourist destination that rewards its visitors with much more than the ordinary. You could be one of them...!
