The island’s main town (Chora), a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a prime example of classic Aegean architecture with arcades, alleys, and white-washed houses complemented by the island’s sinuous shores and crystal-clear waters.

Patmos is one of the smallest inhabited islands of the Aegean Archipelagos, worldwide famous for being “the Jerusalem of the Aegean Sea” as it is an important religious center due to the Byzantine Monastery of Saint John the Theologian and the Cave of the Apocalypse.
