Information On PatmosPatmos is a small island shaped like a sea-horse and it is one of the northest islands of the Dodecanese. Contrary to most islands of the Dodecanese complex, Patmos is an infertile island created by volcanic activity with little green. Patmos is also called the Island of the Apocalypse because it is there that the Holy Book of Revelation was written by Saint John, a text that is part of the New Testimony and one of the most famous texts of all time. Due to this Patmos is a center of religious tourism while it has also been declared a Holy Island by the Greek State. The natural beauty of Patmos combined with the picturesque Chora and the unique religious atmosphere are some of the reasons why the Forbes Magazine has voted Patmos as the most idyllic place of Europe. If you find yourself on Patmos during the first two weeks of September do not miss the unique Religious Music Festival which is most interesting and held out in the open outside the Cave of the Apocalypse. Fortunately on Patmos tourist growth is mild and has not altered the traditional life-style of the island.
