PATMOS ISLAND |
Named "Jerusalem of the Aegean Sea" is this island of aesthetic austerity. This tranquil island formerly a refuge for Christian monks seems to consist only of jagged rocks, lave stone and beautiful, crescent moon bays.
P a t m o s 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 '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, incons, jewellery, embroidery and its wealthy library constituted it as one of the richest monasteries within Christianity. The narrow lanes with the typical whire painted houses, the innumerable taverns and the mediaeval town of CHORA with splendid architectural patterns, the people's life style and hospitality all this creates for you an unforgettable stay on Patmos.
Boat leaves from Pythagorion Harbor at 08:00 and after two hours trip we arrive in Patmos.
The return is at 16:00 and arrival in Pythagorion at 18:00.
