Patmos is located between Leros and Ikaria, and is a mountainous island with beautiful landscaping and beaches. The main communities of Patmos are Chora, its capital, and Skala. Patmos has derived much of its fame from the mention of the island in the Bible’s Book of Revelations, when John was exiled to Patmos and received a vision from Jesus. Because of this, Patmos is a very popular destination for Christian pilgrimage, as the cave where John received his Revelation, and several monasteries dedicated to Saint John are found here.
