Private 3.5-Hour Patmos Highlights Tour

Your private driver will meet you at the port of Skala to begin your journey through Patmos. The first stop is the Cave of the Apocalypse, where St. John received the visions that inspired the Book of Revelation in 95 AD. Explore this sacred site with your licensed guide and learn about its profound religious significance and the history of early Christian persecution.
Next, drive to the hilltop village of Chora, the island’s picturesque capital. From here, enjoy panoramic views of the island while wandering through charming streets and admiring traditional architecture dating from the 15th to 18th centuries.
In Chora, visit the 11th-century Monastery of St. John the Theologian, where you’ll explore monastic life and the monastery museum. Marvel at treasures including frescoes of the founder Christodoulou, relics of St. John, ancient manuscripts, ornate vestments, silverware, and icons—some attributed to El Greco.
Continue with a walking tour through the cobbled streets of Chora to the House of Simandiris, a traditional Patmian home preserved over eight generations. Discover antique furniture, embroidery, paintings, and artifacts that reveal the island’s domestic history and cultural traditions.
Before returning to your private vehicle, enjoy a stroll through Chora’s charming streets with opportunities for shopping and photography, soaking in the timeless atmosphere. Finally, your driver will return you to the port of Skala for a seamless end to your tour.
