| The Holy Cave of the Apocalypse | The Season in Patmos | |
It is located midway between Chora and Skala. Tradition holds that in this cave St John was exiled to the island of Patmos by the Roman emperor Domitian in AD 95-- dictated the Apocalypse (Revelation) to his disciple. In front of the cave's mouth, and climbing down a few stairs, the visitor can see the church of Agia Anna. The latter, which underwent renovation in the 17th century, is presently surrounded by a monastic complex (Monastery of Apocalypse), with flower-filled gardens, cells and chapels. Rock-cut steps lead to the entrance. | Enjoy a discrete vacation only Patmos can offer. Walk through the small alleys and smell the jasmines and the night flowers. Have a swim on the secluded beach of Psili Amos or enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Campos Beach. The whole island is full of history, religion and of course perfect opportunities for relaxation. We also have some small neighboring islands you can visit. What ever you do, you will feel the serenity of the Patmian way of life. |
