My wife and I were very happy that our ship, the MV Celestyal Olympia, visited Patmos, on a cruise around the Greek Islands. As practising Catholics, we looked forward to seeing the cave where St. John wrote the Book of Revelation. We took an optional tour (paid tour). The tour took us first to the cave, then to this magnificent monastery on top of the hill. While the cave had a lot religious significance, this monastery was a real sightseeing gem. Wonderful location, great views, and plenty of history. (it is 1000 years old, whereas St. John lived in the cave, in exile, over 1900 years ago). There is a fantastic little museum, where you can see some very interesting church treasures, including the document signed by the Byzantine Emperor Alexis in 1088, establishing this monastery. As we had taken a paid tour, we had an excellent guide, who gave us an enormous amount of information. She also pointed out the best places to get photos. The views are stunning. One caution: your transport cannot take you right up to the entrance, it will need to park a fair way below. So, there is some climbing involved. If it is rainy, the cobblestones will be slippery and dangerous. Not a place to take a stroller!

5. Acropolis of Lindos

Wow, such a spectacle from when you 1st see the castle walls on the approach be it land or sea. You need good shoes to negotiate the steep hill side and narrow streets, and there are many paths up to the acropolis. A short Que and 12 euro and you enter the walls. more steep steps and uneven ground all the way to the top. Lots of information boards to explain the huge history of the place, fantastic wonderment of how they built and lived in this amazing fort and then the views OMG Take your time on the walk up (and down) lazily wander around the ruins and soak up the drama. Fantastic.

Just love the short climb up to the castle and to breath the fresh air here. The most spectacular views over the Aegean can e seen towards Symi. The small cafe has excellent Thyme honey on offer after the harvest and is one of the best honey's we have ever purchased.

This is totally undersold, an easy-ish climb from the parking (coffee shop nearby for after!) and the views were exceptional. You can walk around and into the small church at the top, and also light a candle (donations can be left there too). There is no entrance fee, but should be!

Largely rebuilt by the Italians this is a very beautiful building - lovely views from the windown and lots and lots of interesting stuff for history buffs - beautiful mosaic floors nicked from Kos. You do get a feel for how the palace was during the crusades.
