Cave of the Apocalypse, a holy sanctuary where tradition holds that John the Evangelist received divine revelations and transcribed the Book of Revelation with his student Prohoros. This sacred text has garnered admiration from faithful Christians worldwide.

Resembling a Byzantine castle, the Monastery of St. John was built as a fortress in 1088 by Ossios Christodoulos. The monastery's towering walls, reaching over 15 meters high, enclose a museum housing a magnificent collection of jeweled chalices, crowns, crosses, and an original El Greco painting—one of his first.

About Patmos
Patmos is a small Dodecanese island where tradition says Saint John wrote the Book of Revelation in a cave, above a whitewashed hilltop town.
Patmos is a small, rocky island in the Aegean Sea, north-west of Kos and reached by ferry. Its main town, Chora, climbs a hill around the Monastery of Saint John the Theologian, a fortified monastery founded in the eleventh century, and the harbour of Skala lies on the coast below. The monastery and the town are a UNESCO World Heritage site.
