Patmos ‑ a significant connection with the Byzantine Period and whose Christianity has still strongly preserved the Byzantine presence by the monastery and churches. Here, in a cave, St. John wrote the masterpiece of “Apocalypse” ‑ one of the most magnificent texts of world literature. The harbour town of Skala is dominated by the mighty monastery of the 'Theologian', built in the 11th cent., with its priceless religious relics, rare manuscripts, icons, jewellery, embroidery and its wealthy library constituted it as one of the richest monasteries within Christianity. The narrow lanes with the typical white painted houses, the innumerable taverns and the medieval town of Hora with splendid architectural patterns, the people's lifestyle and hospitality ‑ all this creates for you an unforgettable stay on Patmos.

Patmos is a very, very interesting Island to visit with the St. John Cave and the monastery. Caroline - our guide - was really good and told u’s a lot of interesting things. To bad that the tour sometimes enere up in a shouting competition. I guess, that better planning netween the guides could eliminate that problem. Also its a bit annoying that guests couldn’t keep quiet and kept taking photos although it wasn’t allowed. But all in all a very good tour ????

Good guide when we eventually found where we were meant to be. No Viator representative at Patmos, we were just herded onto a bus. It would have been easier and cheaper to take a taxi. Hidden extra costs at monastery and cave - which was the whole point of the visit.
