The island where St John had the revelation and wrote the Apocalypse is visited by thousands of pilgrims and tourists each year, who come to see the saint's cave and, in particular, the impressive Byzantine monastery dedicated to him. But Patmos has also opened up to leisure tourism. Verdant and flower-decked in spring, arid and rocky in summer, the island has several facets, which you will uncover as you explore its beaches and rocky coves.
