This private shore excursion in Patmos offers a unique opportunity to explore the Grotto of the Apocalypse. The frescoes adorning the left of the entrance vividly depict the miracles and travels of St. John the Evangelist, chronicled by Prochorus, a supposed disciple.
On the right side, another fresco captures St. John's legendary battle with the priest of Apollo in Patmos. The journey continues with a visit to the Monastery of St. John and the Chapel of the Virgin Mary. 12th-century frescoes, hidden beneath 17th-century coverings, were revealed by the earthquake of 1956, offering a glimpse into the island's rich history. Conclude your excursion with a leisurely walk through the narrow streets of Chora in Patmos before transfer you back to the ship

Cave of Apocalypse
We arrive at the Cave of the Apocalypse. More specifically in the “Holy Cave of the Apocalypse”, which still exists, John the Evangelist spoke with God and He recited the holy book of Revelation that John recorded with the help of his student Prohoros. This book has caused admiration and awe among the faithful Christians who find it prophetic and come from the ends of the world to visit and worship this place. After this memorable tour, you’ll embark the car for the short ride back to the port.

1.00Our driver did not show up! So can’t review this tour. We ended up going back to the cruise ship. We texted several times no response. We got a text after we returned to the ship. We passed on the tour.

4.00Pros : we went at a time that was very quiet so we basically had sites to ourselves. Our Guide was nice and easy to understand. Air conditioned Private transport waits for you at every site which is nice. Cons : paying over $700 and entrance fees are not included ?? That, I was pretty upset about. Also I was contacted just two days before the tour about a time conflict and site closures during our scheduled tour time. It was supposed to be a 4 hour tour and it was not quite 4 hours because we weren’t able to see all the sites we had booked for. However still paid full price PLUS entrance fees.
This was a joke -not a tour whatsoever lol

1.00This was supposed to be a “private tour” of religious highlights of Patmos and our guide was supposed to be there with a sign with our names. No one was there with a sign with our names and our driver couldn’t speak English and knew nothing about the places we went to. All he did was pick us up and drop us off at these places. We could have rented a taxi to do this instead of paying $600 for five is us. This was a joke and I’m requesting we be refunded.
Excellent private tour

5.00In June, two friends and I traveled to Patmos mainly to see the Cave of the Apocalypse and St. John's Monastery. Through a web search, we found Nick Alafakis, a private tour guide in Patmos. He was the best! We contacted him months before the trip and he quickly and patiently replied, to my numerous inquiries about various options until we decided on the perfect plan to satisfy our wants for the tour. Nick met us at our hotel to escort us to the Cave of the Apocalypse and then to St John's Monastery. When we asked, he was flexible, accommodating and willing to pick us up at an earlier time so we could attend the Mass at the Cave, giving a wonderful commentary along the way. Having a degree in Theology he was extremely knowledgeable to give the background and explanation to the two sites as well as as interesting information about the island. Attending the Mass in the Cave, hearing the beautiful voice of the cantor was most spiritual and peaceful. Nickolas was a fantastic guide, incredibly knowledgeable. and a great storyteller. He patiently answered any questions we had and gave interesting explanation on the exhibits at St. John's Monastery. Even after a short tour, we felt as though we were friends. I would definitely recommend Nicolas Alafakis to anyone visiting Patmos. He was the best! Our days at Patmos were a true joy. I hope to return.
Veri Nice!

5.00Patty's knowledge of the religious highlights of this island was wonderful. He is a warm, enthusiastic, clear communicator with a lovely sense of humour. He was able to get us to all the sites in our short allotted time between ferries, and juggling their different open hours. In hindsight I should have planned to stay an extra day, just to soak in more of the atmosphere of Patmos and to reflect more on its history and its place in the story of the world's existence.
Moving, interesting and worth it.

4.00The sights were very moving and so thankful we were able to see these historical sites. Guide very knowledgeable. She may not have picked up on our clues of our interest but over all worth the private tour.
Amazing Tour

5.00Our family of four (kids ages 13 and 11) loved the Christian Tours in Athens & Ancient Corinth. Communication prior to our tour was wonderful. Our driver was very friendly and accommodating, doing his best to get us as close to the attractions as possible. Our tour guide was an endless wealth of information and truly a delight to spend the day with. She offered to take family photos for us every chance possible and gave us tips on how to spend the rest of our time in Athens. This tour was hands down the best we have ever taken on any of our travels. I have recommended the tour to anyone who asks about our travels to Greece.
