For many years, the island was a place of pilgrimage for the Catholic and the Orthodox.
In the sixties, Patmos became for a while a favourite destination for hippies, who were trying to experience the spiritual vibes of the island. |
| Today, this mountainous island and its small coves attract sun lovers who wish to dive in its crystalline waters. |

From the island’s prior isolation and religiousness only the imposing Monastery of Saint John and the signs forbidding nude bathing and topless remain.
