Patmos
Patmos - the Jerusalem of the Aegean, the place where John wrote down the Revelation, shines with mythological and Christian magic. Originally, Zeus is said to have given the island to his daughter Artemis. Beautiful beaches next to picturesque cliffs await you, green hills with olive trees, ancient sites and monuments. A visit to the monastery of St. John is a must, here you can also visit the cave where John had his visions. Besides this monastery, the island has many other sites of religious life. Often, the ancient and the Christian are right next to each other, like the ruins of the temple of Apollo next to the church of St. Constantine in Chora.
The ferry port on the island of Patmos offers connections to the other Greek islands of Agathonisi, Lesbos, Samos, Karpathos, Nisyros, Kalymnos, Kos, Ikaria, Lipsi, Chios, Rhodes, Fournoi, Syros, Astypalea, Tilos, Symi, Arki, Kasos, Leros, Kastelorizo and Limnos, as well as to the ports of Piraeus and Kavala on the Greek mainland. A total of 25 routes are offered here several times a day by the shipping companies Blue Star Ferries, Dodekanisos Seaways and Hellenic Seaways.
Leros
Vacation without the sometimes perceived as annoying tourist boom you can make and enjoy on Leros. On the 75 km² island in the southern Aegean Sea live less than 10,000 inhabitants. The small, one could say idyllic village of Panteli is considered the most beautiful place on the island. Bathing at Panteli Beach is possible in the small bay at any time of the year. The Agios Isidoros Chapel is the insider tip on an island hike, as well as the crab church of Xirokambos in the south of the island. A day trip with the pirate ship to the small island of Arki is a must for your vacation on Leros. The excursion boat departs from Agia Marina in the morning and heads for different destinations every weekday.
