Few travellers cruise the Aegean without a stop at the
island of Patmos, home of the sacred cavern of the Apolcalypse
where John was inspired to write the Book of Revelations.
Cracks in the wall of the cave are said to have appeared
when he heard the voice of the Lord.
Patmos is undeniably religious in character, though like
any Greek island it has its share of tavernas and even discos.
A visit to the Cave and to St. John's Monastery are essentials.
But Patmos has always made at least part of its living from
the sea, and the small port is active. Many secluded bays
with beautiful coves and beaches attract the interest of
many visitors.
