What to expect

The sands of time have barely swept over Patmos since St John had his Revelations here 2,000 years ago – which makes a daytrip to the isle such a fascinating experience. We'll take the ferry to this history-steeped island to the south of Samos and visit the Monastery of St John, the Cave of the Apocalypse and the villages of Chora and Skala.Stepping off the boat, you'll be struck by the turreted walls of the Monastery of St John. They tower over the whole island and give the impression of a fortified castle more than that of an abbey. It was established in the 11th century, and Patmos became known as the ‘Jerusalem of the Aegean'. Your guide will explain its fascinating history before we head through the whitewashed streets of Chora to visit the Cave of the Apocalypse.And there's more to this trip than history and heritage – you'll have plenty of free time to relax and wander around the charming surrounds of Skala harbour before sailing back to Samos.

The day was amazing. The Guide absolutely brilliant. The only slight negative was the cost and we could have done with a little more free time.

Very interesting island with informative guide. However, I felt that two hours was too long in Skala. It was disappointing not to see the three windmills up close in Chora. You could only see them walking up to the monastery! Two date back to 1588 and the third to 1863. Half an hour there would be worth it!

The island was so interesting and the guide, Margarita, was informative and knowledgeable. No time was wasted in visits to olive oil factories or wine tasting! The TUI lady could have been more informative about the itinerary before we set off.
