Patmos Greece, Dodecanese: A collection of pictures in the island of Patmos

The island of Patmos is part of the group of islands called the Dodecanese and lies between the islands of Leros and Ikaria.

It is the place where Saint John the Divine wrote the Book of Revelation (the Apocalypse) and was, for many years, a place of pilgrimage for Catholic and Orthodox.
It even became, during the sixties, a destination for hippies coming to experience the spiritual vibes of the place. Today, Patmos attracts more and more tourists wanting to lie under the sun and dive into the mirror-like waters.

The most beautiful beaches of Patmos are scattered on its eastern coast.

The west coast is very rocky and windy and has only a few accessible beaches.

Some of the many beaches available on Patmos are the secluded sandy Agriolivado Beach surrounded by lush vegetation, the sandy cove of Alikes with its azure waters, the organised beach of Grikos, the small beach of Diakofti with crystalline waters, the long beach resort of Kambos, the very attractive Lefkes Beach or the beautiful Meloi Beach with golden sand.
