The Greek island of Patmos is a place of wonders both natural and divine. The island has drawn solace seekers for nearly 2,000 years – without ever loosing its cool. Patmos doesn’t have an airport. So you take a seven – hour ferry from Athens of fly to a neighboring isle and then catch a catamaran.

A town – Chora on the island was named by UNESCO as World Heritage Site. The monastery, a fortress rising above whitewashed Chora, dominates the island physically and psychologically. Patmos’s 3000 inhabitants feel they live on blessed ground.
