Patmos
in Dodecanese
Known as the island of the Apocalypse, this small, hourglass-shaped pocket near the Turkish coast in the Aegean is steeped in spiritual significance. Whilst pilgrims have visited for centuries, today, the island's slower pace makes it an ideal getaway for those wanting to truly switch off. Find elegant whitewashed villages, hidden coves, and a truly exceptional food scene.
