Scenic Patmos Half Day Tour with your Private Guide

A short drive to the grotto of the Apocalypse. Learn about one of the most influential books in religious literature and walk in the steps of St. John. We continue on to the village of Chora. It is here that we visit the 11th century Monastery of St. John the Theologian, an imposing 900 years old structure, still active today. The treasury, which is the museum of the Monastery, displays a breathtaking collection, including a manuscript dating to the end of the 5th century. We explore the narrow alleys of Chora to visit the oldest mansion on the island which will offer the opportunity to see the interior of a traditional Patmian house along with artifacts collected over 8 generations of the same family. Get the local's perspective on everyday life on the holy island on our return, as we explore the southern part of the island. We pass from our windmills, the oldest chapel (6th century) which is believed to be the site of St. John's baptistry and the beautiful bay of Grikos.
