INFORMATION ABOUT PATMOS
The small and tranquil island of Patmos is best known as the place where Apostle John wrote the Book of Revelation.

According to the legend, Apostle John is believed to have lived in a cave on Patmos, between Chora and Skala, the port of the island.
The Monastery was established in the 11th century and was subsequently fortified to safeguard citizens from pirate raids. It was originally built on the site of an ancient temple dedicated to goddess Artemis. A chapel to Osios Christodoulos, the founder of the monastery, was built in the 17th century, apart from many other chapels. The monastery also houses the Ecclesiastical Museum, exhibiting many rare books, ecclesiastical items, holy gospels and valuable Byzantine icons.
