Reisroute
Ontmoet uw privéchauffeur in de cruisehaven van Patmos om uw begeleide kustexcursie in Patmos te beginnen.
Onze reis begint met een bezoek aan het klooster van Sint-Jan de Theoloog, een prachtig bouwwerk dat lijkt op een Byzantijns kasteel. Dit imposante klooster werd in 1088 gesticht door Ossios Christodoulos onder het beschermheerschap van de Byzantijnse keizer Alexios I. Komnenos en staat als een fort op het eiland Patmos. De muren van het klooster, die ruim 15 meter hoog zijn, definiëren afmetingen van 53 meter van noord naar zuid en 70 meter van oost naar west, waardoor een ontzagwekkende aanwezigheid ontstaat. Het klooster van Sint-Jan de Theoloog biedt een reis door geschiedenis en spiritualiteit. Terwijl u het terrein verkent, zult u getuige zijn van de architectonische wonderen die eeuwenlang stand hebben gehouden.
Onze volgende bestemming is de Grot van de Apocalyps, een heilig heiligdom waar volgens de traditie Johannes de Evangelist goddelijke openbaringen ontving en samen met zijn student Prohoros het boek Openbaring overschreef. Deze heilige tekst heeft bewondering gekregen van getrouwe christenen over de hele wereld. Als je de 'Heilige Grot' binnenstapt, voel je de diepe spiritualiteit die deze heilige ruimte doordringt, waardoor het een bestemming wordt voor aanbidding en reflectie.
Na deze verrijkende en gedenkwaardige tour keren we terug naar de haven.

This island is steep in history and it's a holy island..there is lot to learn! Very relaxing and good fresh food
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you enjoyed the island’s rich history, relaxing atmosphere, and delicious local food!!
A wonderful look around the island of Patmos. Very knowledgeable about the island and all the history. It was great being able to wander and spend time as we needed at the cave and monastery,
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m delighted you enjoyed exploring Patmos and had time to truly experience the cave and monastery. It was a pleasure guiding you, and I hope to welcome you back again soon
Jason was very detailed oriented regarding information on where we went. I am grateful and appreciative on all the knowledge of St. John, the Monastery and cave we went to go see. (Mike was a great driver stopping at where/what we wanted to see) Patmos is beautiful and peaceful-maybe someday to come back. Thank you!
Jason knew everything about Patmos because he made the map! He customized it for us and made sure we saw everything we wanted to.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
We had an excellent, memorable tour of the Cave of the Apocalypse and Monastery of St John the Theologian provided by our guide, Rafael. These sights are not to be missed if you are on Patmos or can arrange a trip to the Island. Ask for Rafael - he is fluent in English and shares his deep knowledge of the historical, cultural and religious significance of the sites and their surroundings. Our visit was greatly enriched by the information he shared about some of the "star" objects in the Monastery Treasury (e.g., a velum Codex with pages dyed Imperial purple, written in silver.) - we would never have developed the same appreciation for it without his explanation. Rafael is also patient - giving us time and space to marvel at what we saw. We topped off the tour with stroll around Chora, the village surrounding the Monastery. I would recommend this experience to anyone.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Jason was very personable & thorough in his knowledge about the monastery & St John’s cave. We are so glad we spent the extra money to do a private tour!! It was worth every penny! We were a group of 4 & didn’t ever feel pressured to hurry. We were even able to sit down in the cave for a few minutes for silent prayer! It was an incredible experience, & I would highly recommend!!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Vera was a wonderful guide - so knowledgeable and flexible to allow us to tour at our own pace and explained so much about Patmos. loved the monastery and the view from the windmills. The Chora town was so sweet and relaxing to stroll through.
My wife and I went to Patmos in September 2023, for 1 day as part of a cruise (Azamera) adventure. It was one of the most important and anticipated parts of the trip. I wanted to see the cave in which John dictated Revelations, which became the last chapter of the Bible. I enjoyed the bus excursion around the island.
We went on our own. It was great. Absolutely no need to book the tour. We just payed the entry fee which is labelled as a donation, had plenty of time to see the places and did not have to listen to lengthy explanations by a tour guide.

An interesting tour where we even got to see the mayor, I think our guide planned it special, lol. We enjoyed our time on Patmos , and after our tour had a great lunch in town. Having a private guide gives you so much information on the history surrounding you that you just don't get when viewing on your own
