Chora huddles at the feet of the magnifiscent Monastary of Saint John. Steep streets, narrow alleyways, quaint shops with everything from the ordinary tourists knick-knack to beautiful artisan work. There are very nice restaurants to be found, too, typically with the very simple and extremely tasty traditional Greek cuisine. The undisputed highlight of Chora must be the above mentioned Monastery, but there are so many surprising sights and views in this very old town.

Massive stone monastery completed in the 11th century in honor of St. John the apostle.
It was founded in 1088 when the emperor in Constantinople gave the island of Patmos to a monk for the monastery. It is an amazing place overlooking the island. The old church has many interesting frescos and the museum has many treasures given to the monastery over its many years. My favorite was the purple codex, leaves of a 6th century gospel of Mark in Greek. My one disappointment was that the large library with many manuscripts was not open to the public. We took the bus from Skala and returned by bus after walking through Chora and to the windmills. A great morning.

This is the one Greek island that stunned me. I grew up with the Bible, and I am familiar with The Book of Revelation. A desk generally is a desk, but this one had amazing history with it. Don't miss it.

A beautiful monastery built near the cave where St. John the apostle wrote the Book of Revelations.
Some pretty significant history here. The place is well kept and a nice stop if you are on the island.

The three windmills of Patmos are located just below the Chora.
There are beautiful views of Patmos, Skala, surrounding area and provide great photo opportunities.
They may not be as famous as the ones in Mykonos, but they are in better condition since their restoration in 2010.

Spectacular church and view, to visit this monestery, we must put a shirt on, and I must cover my shoulders; very quite and serene atmosphere; extraordinaire flora around, I saw a beautiful exotic flower; nice visit.

This beach, hidden from the main touristic areas of Patmos is very nice and secluded. The water is beautiful and clean. The atmosphere really relaxed and quiet. At the end of the beach there is a nice Greek taverna where you can get a drink or something to eat. There are plenty of beach-chairs and sun-umbrellas. It seems to be a quiet meeting spot for locals at the end of the day.

Tranquilla ma ventosa spiaggia di ciottoli.
All'estremo nord dell'isola, il mare è agitato e un po' freddino anche ad agosto.
Due taverne (di cui una più bar-ristorante con arredi morbidi e colorati) in cui pranzare molto bene.
