The Greek island Patmos Presented by Alessandro Sorbello Productions http://www.alessandrosorbello.com Patmos, the island of Greek Archipelago, that became worldwide acquaintance from the Revelation of Ioannis, is a place that it distinguishes.

This particularity lies that it combines the historicity and the religiosity of space with the ideal place that offers in the visitor for relaxation and quiet vacations. Part of Accommodation Greek Islands http://www.accommodationgreekislands.com

The rich history, the Byzantine tradition of many centuries, the natural environment, the traditional architecture of the settlements, the excellent microclimate, the hospitable disposal of the residents, are certain some of the reasons that travelers prefer Patmos.

Majestic but also humble Monasteries, innumerable country churches scattered in the entire island, sandy beaches and indented coastline that shapes repeated
creeks, the devoutness in the sequences of Christian feasts, the unique traditional settlement of Chora that OYNESKO included with the Cave of the Apocalypse in the Monuments of World Heritage, are elements that all together compose, what the visitor conceives and is aware of as something separate and unique atmosphere.

Patmos is a charming, picturesque and tranquil island. It has a very salubrious climate and a clear atmosphere.Vegetation is rather limited but this in no way diminishes the picturesqueness of the island with its lacy coastline, its charming bays and its surrounding islets.

The island has 3000 inhabitants, who are divided among Hora, Skala, which is also the main port and Kampos.

Patmos' main communities are Chora (the capital city), and Skala, the only commercial port.

Other settlements are Grikou and Kampos. The churches and communities on Patmos are of the Eastern Orthodox tradition. In 1999, the island's historic center Chora, along with the Monastery of Saint John the Theologian and the Cave of the Apocalypse, were declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.

The monastery was founded by Saint Christodulos. Patmos is also home to the Patmian School, a notable Greek seminary.
