More about: Patmos island
From my visit, I got that Patmos is a symbol of faith for the Greeks. Most foreigners don't even know that Apostle John wrote the Book of Revelation there and think of
Patmos as a quiet island to relax. Indeed, this is it!
This is a lovely island with small beaches and nice people, although it has not many things to see except for monasteries. The Monastery and the Cave of Revelation are worth visiting. Wear descent clothes or else you will not be allowed to get in. Usually at the entrance of the monastery, the monks leave some clothes to put on (skirts for the women or a skarf to cover their feet), but I tell you this to be prepared. This happens also with other monasteries in Greece, like Meteora.
Anyway, everything went great in Patmos and we have no complain. The hotel was excellent, the people firendly and a tavern wonder bought us wine once. The best tavern was in Lambi, a small tavern on a rock in the sea (!) and it was really a bargain.
