About this activity

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
