Patmos'taki En İyi Turistik Yerler

Patmos Essentials

Patmos is centered around the UNESCO-listed Monastery of Saint John the Theologian, founded in 1088, and the Cave of the Apocalypse, where tradition says the Book of Revelation was written. The island's capital, Chora, features fortified 17th-century mansions like Simantiri and Nikolaidis. Beyond its religious heritage, the landscape includes diverse coastlines ranging from the fine sands of Psili Ammos to the volcanic rock formations of Petra Beach and the rare multi-colored pebbles of Lampi Beach.
