Patmos ‑ a significant connection with the Byzantine Period and whose Christianity has still strongly preserved the Byzantine presence by the monastery and churches. Here, in a cave, St. John wrote the masterpiece of “Apocalypse” ‑ one of the most magnificent texts of world literature.

The harbour town of Skala is dominated by the mighty monastery of the 'Theologian', built in the 11th cent., with its priceless religious relics, rare manuscripts, icons, jewellery, embroidery and its wealthy library constituted it as one of the richest monasteries within Christianity. The narrow lanes with the typical white painted houses, the innumerable taverns and the medieval town of Hora with splendid architectural patterns, the people's lifestyle and hospitality ‑ all this creates for you an unforgettable stay on Patmos.

The actual tour was lovely and informative, especially the guides and those who accompanied you from Samos to Patmos. However, I would just wait to book this tour FROM Samos. The TripAdvisor operator did not communicate well with the group on the ground and it was chaos finding our booking and we nearly missed the whole ferry.

An overpriced ferry ride and a disappointing tour of the monastery, as well as a short ride on the crowded bus.

Excellent experience as a Christian to see the place where John had his vision. The hiking trail to it is also beautiful with beautiful views over the chora of Patmos
A good guide makes the difference

Our guide - Vera (I hope I did not misspell her name) made it ! Her presentations, in both the museum of the monastery and in the cave were a mix of a professor of history and religion, a philosopher and an actress! At least for me, she was the best guide I ever had (and I am a senior and professor at a university). Congratulations!
Amazing experience - highly recommend

Simply amazing experience being inside the cave where St John wrote the Book of Revelation, seeing the place where he lived till he died and the rock standing 'desk' where said the vision to his disciple (scribe). Make sure you carry cash because tickets to the cave nor the monastery are included in the tour tickets which is disappointing as we were led to believe when ordering the tour.
A very good tour with very minor issues

Patmos is a very, very interesting Island to visit with the St. John Cave and the monastery. Caroline - our guide - was really good and told u’s a lot of interesting things. To bad that the tour sometimes enere up in a shouting competition. I guess, that better planning netween the guides could eliminate that problem. Also its a bit annoying that guests couldn’t keep quiet and kept taking photos although it wasn’t allowed. But all in all a very good tour 😊
Good guide when we...

Good guide when we eventually found where we were meant to be. No Viator representative at Patmos, we were just herded onto a bus. It would have been easier and cheaper to take a taxi. Hidden extra costs at monastery and cave - which was the whole point of the visit.

Ozan was an amazing guide! With extra time, he took us to a Turkish Carpet Weaving operation where we were treated as royalty and enjoyed a tradition lunch on the lawn (not street food), a carpet explanation and show complete with tea service and a demonstration of the silk cocoon being made into thread. This was in addition to the wonderful sites of Eohesus and St Mary's house.
