The Holy Island of Patmos, Greece
A surprising Greek Island holiday spot!

Patmos Greece, the island of the Holy Grotto of the Apocalypse, is a small island belonging to the Dodecanese cluster. It is characterized by its spiritual aura and its contrasting natural features such as sandy beaches, valleys, rock formations and hills.

The island of Patmos Greece has been inhabited since Prehistoric Times. During the Roman Period, it was a land of exile and it was here that St. John the Theologian, during his exile, wrote the Apocalypse, known also as the Book of Revelation. As Christianity spread throughout the world, Patmos began to develop into a center of religion, with many Christians finding refuge on the island and as a result, Patmos Greece increased both its commercial and intellectual aspects.

Patmos Town (Hora) is a medieval town built around the Monastery of St. John the Theologian. The town is quite beautiful and is comprised of whitewashed houses, grand manors, splendid small squares, a number of churches and narrow alleyways. Skala is the port and capital town of Patmos Island and is the busiest settlement on the island.
