Patmos - play tour Video by Greecevirtual
Patmos Island
Patmos is not a big island, but it is one of the best known. It was here St. John had his vision and wrote the Apocalypse, and this is why Patmos is sometimes called The Jerusalem of the Aegean. The Monastery of St. Johns towers above the capital, Chora, and the whole island breathes of faith and devotion. Patmos included as one of the monuments of world heritage of UNESCO. The Monastery of St. John the Theologian with its priceless treasures, and the preservation of the traditional village of Chora, that was built in the Middle Ages and the Cave of the Apocalypse were the main reasons that Patmos had this important international distinction. According to mythology, Patmos was a present from Zeus to his daughter Artemis, goddess of hunting and young women. She was worshipped here in antiquity, and the monastery of St. John was built on her temple.

GREECE: EXPLORING island of PATMOS, top BEACHES to see and visit ????️
Subscribe here: -
Let's go the beautiful Greek island of Patmos and let's visit the best beaches, including Meloi, Lambi, Geranou, Petra, Agrio Livadi, Groikos, Alikes and a couple of others.
Patmos, an Aegean island in the north of Greece’s Dodecanese island group, is a significant Christian pilgrimage site. Its Cave of the Apocalypse is where John of Patmos (St. John the Theologian) is said to have written the Book of Revelations. A fortresslike, 11th-century monastery dedicated to the saint overlooks the whitewashed houses of the hilltop capital, Hora (also known as Chora).
Kos, one of Greece’s Dodecanese islands, is known for its abundant sandy beaches. It’s also rich with Greek and Roman landmarks, particularly in and around Kos Town. This harbor town is dominated by the 15th-century Neratzia Castle. South of the castle are the Ancient Agora ruins, with a temple, shrine and columns. The 3rd-century Casa Romana villa has lavish mosaics.
Greece is a country in southeastern Europe with thousands of islands throughout the Aegean and Ionian seas. Influential in ancient times, it's often called the cradle of Western civilization. Athens, its capital, retains landmarks including the 5th-century B.C. Acropolis citadel with the Parthenon temple. Greece is also known for its beaches, from the black sands of Santorini to the party resorts of Mykonos.

Greek Hawaii: Secret beach in Tiganakia islets, Lipsi - Dodecanese
Between a couple of islets at the group of Dodecanese in southeastern Greece you may encounter a secret paradise. Tiganakia islets (meaning small frying pan) are a virgin unexplored beauty! You may reach them with your yacht or via a daily excursion from Lipsi island, Patmos, Arki, Marathi or the nearby turkish coastal cities of Bodrum, Didim, etc.
Hidden gems of Lipsi
Explore the raw beauty of the landscape
On Lipsi not a day goes by without being able to experience something brand new and original. The twenty four islets that embrace it are “living museums of natural history” awaiting exploration. With their rich flora and fauna and their registration in the Natura 2000 catalogue, they make the ideal refuge for the Μonachus-monachus seal, sea turtles as well as Eleonora’s falcons, herring gulls and other rare birds, whose nests occupy every eligible nook and cranny.
Swim in the turquoise waters, dive to admire the wonderful sea bed, or take a boat ride to visit secluded bays, cave formations, coves and beaches and, if you are lucky, a dolphin may join you!
For imaginative palates
Resisting the influx of “tourist cuisine”, the inhabitants of Lipsi use their local produce in delicious, traditional recipes. Their sea provides its treasures generously: cray fish, prawns, crabs, oysters, fish and octopi ideally accompany the ouzo you will drink in the harbor at dusk, a meeting place for locals and visitors who do not take long to become one big convivial group.
Surrender yourself to the mysticism and tranquility of the island of The Apocalypse
Grandeur and serenity. That’s what you feel when you enter the streets of Hora and the monastery. For many years, during Orthodox Easter and all summer long, Patmos has been frequented by intellectuals, artists, royalty and celebrities from all over the world. Small and secluded yet spectacular all the same, it is the island of The Apocalypse, “The Jerusalem of the Aegean”, and has a deep relationship with religion.
Mystical experiences await you here in the Dodecanese: In the dark cave where St John the Divine wrote the book of Revelation, the Monastery of St John the Theologian, and the labyrinthine streets of Hora with its impressive aristocratic homes. Visit and discover an island-monument that Unesco has declared a World Heritage Site.
What to do on Patmos
Cave of the Apocalypse
This sacred, candlelit grotto is believed to be the spot where St John the Divine received his visions from Christ and transcribed the Book of Revelation, the last chapter of the Christian Bible. Exiled on Patmos in 95 AD, he preached to, baptised and prayed with the island’s inhabitants. Eventually, Patmos came to be considered sacred and the cave became the focal point of a significant religious pilgrimage.
Next to godliness
High on the hill above Hora, The Monastery of St John the Theologian is an important centre of worship. This monastery, with its significant religious history and imposing architecture, rises grandly over the Aegean and dominates the life of Patmos. The monastic community here has existed for over 900 years and the relics, rare documents, icons and other Orthodox treasures in the monastery are invaluable.
It was established in 1088 by the Byzantine monk St Christodoulos the Blessed. Each Easter, on the night of The Resurrection, the Holy Light makes it way from Jerusalem to Patmos. Likewise, on Holy Thursday, the church service of Niptiros – which occurs only in Patmos and in Jerusalem – is an event that never fails to inspire.
Picture-perfect Hora
Feudal lords, wealthy merchants and captains from the 16th to the 19th century have all left their mark on Hora. It isn’t hard to understand why it is considered one of the most stately island towns in the Aegean as you walk in the shadow of the imposing buildings with Gothic and neoclassical features, pass under the arcades and archways, ascend alleyways that barely fit two people.
Ask to be shown the sights and stately homes of Vardikou, Palaiologou, Valvi, Foundi (of Leonton) and be transported to another time. At Nikolaidi, which has been converted into an exceptional museum, you will find a representation of a traditional home in Patmos, as well as many archaeological discoveries.
In the southeast Aegean, north of Leros and east of Patmos, a small speck of land surrounded by 24 islets, forming a glittering necklace, awaits you for a dreamy holiday. It is Lipsi – mythical Ogygia - the island of goddess Kalypso.

Indrukwekkend bezoek Patmos met de 60PlusEnDus groep
Ook Patmos bezoeken met de Griekse eilanden blue cruise? Meer info via swssailing.nl. Met een busje inclusief prive chauffeur reden we met de 60PlusEnDus groep naar de top van het eiland. Het was een mooie rit, want onderweg heb je prachtige uitzichten. We gingen eerst naar de grot waar Johannes zijn openbaring schreef en bezochten het Johannesklooster, dat stamt uit het jaar 1088. Iedereen was erg onder de indruk, met name in het klooster. Jammer genoeg lukte het twee gasten niet om mee omhoog naar het klooster te lopen. Een had last van haar knie en bij de ander speelde helaas COPD op. Ondanks dat hadden ook zij een prachtige excursie gehad op Patmos.

PATMOS ADASI - XEROKAMPOS - VATHİ - DATÇA (9.BÖLÜM) YELKENLİMİZ DORİS YELKENLİ VE MOTORLU ÇİFT VLOG
Gezimizin son bölümüne Lipsi adasından ayrılarak başlıyoruz. Lipsi adasında rüzgarı 2 gece boyunca bekledik. Patmos ( Batnoz) adası rotası Kuzey-Batılı olduğu için dalga ve rüzgarlar oldukça sert oluyor. Genelde 20-30 knot arası rüzgarlarla boğuşarak geçişimiz sadece 9 mil olmasına rağmen sert oldu.Seyir boyunca tepede gözüken kale-manastırın manzarasının tadını çıkardık.
Sonra Patmos Skala yani merkeze giderek limana bağlandık. Liman ücreti olarak ise günlük 4 euro verdik ,artık Ege adalarının Kudüs'ü sayılan hacı adası Patmos'u gezebilirdik.
Patmos UNESCO Dünya Mirası listesinde yer alıyor.Ziyaret edilen yerlerin ilki Aziz Yuhanna ( St John)' nin Incil'in son bölümü Apocalypse'i yazdığı mağara ; ikincisi ise adaya girerken dikkatinizi çeken Kaleye benzeyen manastır.Yalniz belirli saatlerde açık.Mağara 2€ , manastır 4€. Örtü vermediler. Yaniniza şalinizi alıp gidin.
15 euro'ya günlük motosiklet kiraladıktan sonra asıl köy merkezi olan Hora kasabasına doğru yol aldık ve ilk olarak kutsal mağara (Patmos Apocalypse Cave) ziyareti yaptık.
Daha sonra yel değirmenlerini ziyaret ettikten sonra kalenin ve manastırların olduğu tepeyi gezdik. Buranın manzarası muhteşemdi. Kutsal manastırın orada Balkoni restoranda frappelerimizi yudumladık. Çok tatlı kedileri sevdik.Hira'da Simantiri Konağını gezip bir vakitler Izmir'de yaşamış ailenin tarihine tanıklık edebilirsiniz (3 €).
Bu arada limanda hava 45 knotlar civarına çıktı yani 70-80km hız. Bu sert ruzgar yuzunden adada 3 gün kaldık.
Plajjları oldukça güzel olan Patmos'ta önce Kampos köyünün plajına gittik, soğuk ama korunaklı koylarda 2. durağımız Vagias koyu oldu. Bu koylar hemen sırayla yan yanadır.
Sonrasında ise Livadi Geranou koyuna gittik ve en sevdiğimiz koy burası oldu. Deniz pırıl pırıl idi. Demir atmak için ideal gözüküyordu.
Son olarak Patmos Skala'dan bir güney koy olan Grikos ve Petra koylarını gezdik. Burada Kalikatsou diye değişik bir kayalık hoşumuza gitti. En guzel plajın batıya bakan Psili Ammos olduğunu öğrendik ancak yürüyerek gidilebiliyor. Bir Antalya'li olarak yuruyerek gitmek cok cazip gelmedi açıkçası.
Skala kısmı akşamları dolaşmak , bir şeyler yemek içmek için çok uygun, zaten surekli cruise gemileri müşteri taşıyor. Hora da akşamları giderseniz tavernaları ile sizi bekliyor.
3 Günlük Patmos gezimizden sonra Leros adasının güneyinde Xerokampos koyuna gittik. Burada restoranların kendi şamandıraları var ve koy tam anlamıyla harika.To Kyma restoranı tavsiye ederiz. Seyirimiz 16NM civarı sürdü ve çoğunlukla geniş apaz seyri yaparak koya vardık.
Xerokampos'tan sonra Kalymnos'un Vathi limanına gittik ve Yunanistan çıkış yapıp D-Marin Turgutreis'den Türkiye'ye giriş yaptık.
Son olarak da Datça limanına doğru harika bir seyir yaparak bu sezonun 1 ay süren Yunan Adaları turunu bitirmiş olduk.
The last part of our vlog ( cruise from Antalya to Patmos) includes Patmos Island of Greece and the returning voyage to Turkey. The sacred island of Patmos gave us a different experience.
