Patmos, besides being a truly beautiful island with a naturalistic point of view, is world famous for the Apocalypse Cave where St. John the Evangelist wrote this fascinating part of the Bible.
Also called the Jerusalem of the Aegean as a well known destination for pilgrims, the island is surrounded by a halo of crazy energy, perceptible even at the moment when you touch its land with your feet.
Patmos in Roman times was the place where the condemned were sent into exile and here St. John was confined by the Roman emperor Titus Flavius Doninitiaus in 95 AD to be a bearer of the word of God and of the Jesus testimony.Arrived on the Patmos island, he converted the inhabitants to Christianity and wrote the Book of Revelation.

The Cave was transformed by Blessed Cristodulo into an important place of worship where thousands of faithful from all over the world come to admire it and retire in prayer.
In 1999 it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
