From Samos we took a hydrofoil to the Island of Patmos (made famous by the possibility that John wrote the Book of Revelation there). It's a much smaller island than Samos, and gets some cruise ship day trip traffic, but still quite beautiful. This was taken at the monastery at the hill-top town of Chora. Lots of people there (though you wouldn't know it from this image), but fewer at the cave where John dictated the words of Revelation to his scribe. Island of Patmos, Greece. 29 July 2009.
