Island is just one of the rare inhabited islands
in the Aegean. With its relatively small size for an island
and its astonishing beauty,
Patmos Island deserves to be called
a pearl in the Aegean seas. Apart from its beauty and
contemporary offerings, Patmos Island is rich in religious
history as it commemorates an important point in Christian
Theology.
Saint John the Theologian was said to
be exiled in Patmos Island around 95 – 100 AD. During
this time, he had his visions that led to the authorship
of the Revelations (Apocalypse)..
 Religion
and Christian architecture plays a vital role in the life
of Patmos Island. A majestic medieval monastery entirely
made of stone towers through, almost embracing every area
of the island inviting incoming tourists to step foot
on Patmos with utmost respect, increasing wonder and unending
awe.
Throughout ancient times, Patmos Island
has retained its name and its status as a site of pilgrimage
among Christians and a treasure trove of historical, spiritual
and cultural heritage for all. Year in and year out, a
throng of tourists visit the Island both to rejuvenate
their souls with its Christian legacy and to feed their
minds and enthral their hearts with the very beauty of
the Island’s scen |
