Patmos is the island of the Apocalypse and has a deep relationship with religion. Mystical experiences await you here, where St John the Divine wrote the book of Revelation in a dark cave. Along with the holy cave of Apocalypse, the Monastery of St John the Theologian and the labyrinthine streets of Hora have been declared as World Heritage Sites by Unesco.
High on the hill above Hora, the Monastery is an important place of worship. This monastery, with its significant religious history and imposing architecture, rises grandly over the Aegean. The monastic community here has existed for over 900 years and the relics, rare documents, icons and other Orthodox treasures in the monastery are invaluable.
